Some cats are even natural swimmers, especially those native to warmer climates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feline friends who fear water are typically those who have never been properly exposed to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is best to get your cat accustomed to water when he is young to make sure he has a natural curiosity to learn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being exposed to water early, such as gradually introducing your pet to a few more inches of water in the sink with each bath, will allow for a more natural and safe transition from tolerating to enjoying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, when you decide you\u2019re ready to take your cat to the lake, your pet will know what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your cat\u2019s protection, be sure Fluffy has a clear lake entrance and exit available, such as a ladder on your boat or dock, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=climbing+rope&amp;crid=163J7Z60H2WZ5&amp;sprefix=climbing+%2Caps%2C160&amp;ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_9\">climbing rope<\/a> that will allow him to lock in with his claws and exit the water with ease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also be sure to keep noise levels and splashing to a minimum, and always dry your cat\u2019s ears after exiting the water to avoid serious infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-life-purrservers\"><strong>Life Purrservers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For added pet safety, consider fitting your feline with a pet life vest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When selecting which life preserver to buy for your pet, consider purchasing a vest with a handle for quick extraction and under-chin padding to keep your cat\u2019s head above water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most animal life vests are marketed for dogs, most are compatible with keeping your cat safe, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a life preserver made specifically for your kitty companion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00V70L4TI\/?tag=mattflood0d-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Paws Aboard<\/a> is the best choice for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These jackets are equipped with both a&nbsp; handle and under-chin padding and come in bright, easy-to-see red.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paws Aboard cat life vests are available for purchase on Amazon.com for about $25.
