Cats and water? Lemme tell ya a little story… years ago, I went on a canoe trip with a couple that (for reasons that elude me to this day) decided to bring their cat along.

Every time the boat got within six feet of the riverbank, cat made a desperate flying leap for dry land… only to stop dead in mid-air at the end of the leash (Cartoon Physics in action here) and drop (splat!) into the water. This went on for, oh, about ten miles. So much for the theory that cats can learn…
