Who said cats hate water? Well maybe most cats do, but these are not your average kitties!

Summer is around the corner and these cats are summer READY. No bathing suit needed, furry skin got them covered! Who would have thought cats would enjoy spending so much time by the water? These kitties are not your regular home kitties, your indoor cat won't let you clean its mouth with a little bit of water. These guys? Swimming, surfing, castle making, you name it. Some kitties are just built different, no amount of salt, waves, and itchy eyes will stop them. I think this time it was us who underestimated their abilities to adapt. And not only do they adapt, they thrive and look pawesome doing it.

They will look effortless cool, chic, calmed and collected. Not a single drop of sweat seen in their bodies, they will always look fabulous. Another advantage our feline friends have is their abilities to nap anywhere. No beach umbrella needed, no sunglasses, no renewing sunscreen every 60 minutes, cats have the mega super power of falling asleep wherever they please to. Personally, I would need (a lot) of sun protection, a towel to lay my body, a hat and a water bottle by my side. I am starting to realize maybe my cat was not complicated at all, all along the problem was me.

Although cats are very well mannered, as I said earlier, some things cannot be predicted. So a leash is recommended. We all know how unpredictable a zoomies session can be. One minute they are on your lap, calm, affectionate, sleepy. And suddenly, a bird flies by and crazy mode is activated. Control is lost. Fight or flight mode is ON and your cat has become a professional bird hunter. My apologies to all the birds my cat has haunted throughout time. Of course they are all well and alive no worries guys. The point is, beware of your surroundings, but never panic. These guys have it all under control.
And remember to take some drinkable water for our furry mermaids.
