some cats swim some don't

Catlover999:

A type of cat called the Turkish Van is able to. It doesn't have an undercoat, so it can dry quickly after swimming. The Bengal cat also likes water, but I don't think it enjoys water as much as a Turkish Van. This book I made was actually all about Turkish Vans.

Does cat litter Float in water?

Swimming cats?Yes, they know how to swim - and like dogs, some are good swimmers and some - not so good. But it is there natural instinct to be able to swim. When cats were first discovered they had supposedly lived in Egypt (I am not 100% sure) But anyways they were naturally born swimmers.But as cats evolved they have slowly begun to not enjoy water,where as for some cats enjoy water.A cat breed that loves water and can actually swim is the Turkish Van. Their paws help move them forward and their tails act like rudders. But how can they swim??????? My dad says that they swam to cool themselves off on a hot day in Turkey. They originated at Lake Van, hence the name.Well it depends on the cats, species. And well i believe that any cat can swim, doggy paddle if you will, when needed, or when they please.


How come a tiger can swim if it is part of the cat family and cats hate water what is the answer?

It is a myth that cats hate water. Yes, many domestic cats are afraid of water. Not all of them though. Mine loves playing in water. Tigers are not the only big cat that likes to swim. Lions have been known to enjoy a swim, and I'm sure if you search you will find others.
