Fat cat swims for weight loss

She apparently loves it, too, so I'm glad his owner brought her in. They're trying to get her to lose 6-7 pounds and when she's at home, she just lays around, so this is the way to get her moving.

 

That's so cute! I'm glad they've found an exercise that works for this cat. My cats would skin me alive if I tried to make them swim, lol.

 

That is so cute! I just hope that the cat doesn't get a skin allergy from the chlorinated water. That is my only main concern. I hope that little chubby kitty loses weight. I think chubby cats are so cute, but it's so unhealthy.

 

Aww, I love the cat's facial expression. Swimming is supposed to be easy on the joints so it might be good for her, especially since she's 13 years old.
I love her little life jacket. The cat's name is Holly and I cracked up when the owner said that she watches Maury Povich all day. I've never known a cat that was into daytime talk shows.

 

Mine too. My cat Delores is named after a tough cowgirl named Delores Del Ruby in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, and my cat would give me a full dose of that cowgirl attitude and kick my butt Wild West style if I tried to put a life jacket on her and put her in a swimming pool.

 

Oh man, my cat would have my face in everyone of his claws if I tried to put him in the water!
Amazing that this cat likes it. I try to play with mine by using a typical string and such for them to chase. But my cats are not obese by any means.
Interesting for sure to see that a cat actually likes water this much.

 

It's good they found her a way, and that she took so well to the water! None of our cats would let us put them in the water, they play with water on their own terms.
I think this is a good reason to watch your cat's weight and monitor for them if they seem to be a bit of a piggy.

 

Wow my cats would not even entertain this idea, they are water haters!

 

I don't know that this will work with my cat either, he hates water! This cat doesn't look too happy either.

 

Well the pool is used mostly for dogs, so I am guessing that they have the water treated with their skin in mind. I'm not a big fan of overly chlorinated pools either, but I can only hope that they have adjusted it for them.

 

Okay, a news anchor talking about this cat just couldn't keep a straight face. She's laughing her butt off at Holly!
