"Physiotherapy"? Aren't cats notorious for hating swimming? Did they just turf him in there and hope that he got the hang of it?

A lot of big cats hunt in and around water, i don't think the hating water applies to all cats.

Galpinos is right, quite a few of the big cats swim and catch food in water, there's even an Asian fishing cat whose feet I think are webbed, I may have made that up but I'm sure I watched a programme on it once. Smaller domestic cats tend not to be too keen in general but it depends, mine like to play with dripping taps but not much more. Some breeds love the water though, Turkish Vans and Norwegian Forrest cats are two that spring to mind.

Sorry about the size. Week old wolf-dog pup:

I never doubted your cat knowledge:

No webbed paw photos though.

I am a mine of useless, half remembered information.

Now I want a swimming kitten.

SA Chris · June 28, 2011, 10:50:03 am

The only thing I ever got from a Turkish Van was a kebab.

I resisted for nearly a day, but couldn't help myself.

Really? How fantastic! I am always hopefully we'll get a pet lizard / gecko visitor in the house in Spain but so far no luck. Look how adorable his wee face is!

So, Drop-bears don't exist??? That koala is really cute.

How do you know it's a boy?

Cause he's got a boy's face. And no nail varnish on.

I actually have no idea, he might be a she.

This belongs here. Watch it before its too late. I was hooked from the moment the little turkeys emerged from their eggs and flopped across the table.

robertostallioni · August 04, 2011, 10:24:48 pm

Watched it twice already Will. Really is good.

Will Hunt · August 04, 2011, 10:35:12 pm

I've watched it twice as well! At first glance it looks like one of those shows where they parade a complete oddball for the entertainment of the public but it's not at all. Best thing I've seen of late

Saving baby hedgehogs:

I am halfway through the turkey programme, it's great!

That poor badger though.

The lime puppy is funny, it's like the pet owners version of feeding your kids weird stuff so you can see them pull faces.

SA Chris · August 16, 2011, 01:15:15 pm

Ducking at Loch Morlich. Luckily it was a better swimmer than Kyle.

magpie · August 16, 2011, 02:32:08 pm

I have a very similar photo of me and some ducks.
