Actually cats are natural born swimmers. There paws are slightly webbed and allow for better movement in water. It is thought that cats originated in areas that the main source of food would have been the water; such as a river in a desert or a lake in a dense tropical forest. That is why cats are most fond of aquatic foods. But modern cats have witnessed the faults of pet ownership and have lost there natural feeding habits. But, it only takes a simple push to encourage those inner lost instincts, and that is what I get out of this flash; a show of courage to follow your gut and intuition to get what you need.
