I saw that show too. I thought the cat looked fine when she was
actually swimming in the water, but she DID look kind of upset
about the surfing part.


Like you, I'm only judging by what the program showed us, and I
didn't like it at all. For one thing as I said, the angle of the
camera indicated that the cat seemed to be swimming desperately for
shore. If it were enjoying swimming it would more likely be
heading for its owner, or swimming around, or playing. IMO, I saw
the nothing to indicate the cat found any pleasure in being in the
water - in fact quite the opposite. Besides, although there are
exceptions, by far the greatest percentage of cats have an aversion
to being wet than not.


Well, it does seem unlikely that a cat would enjoy something like
that, but
it really is hard to know for sure. I tend to agree with you, but I
know I have a habit of jumping to conclusions about things when I
feel protective, so I'm trying to reserve making judgements without
all the facts from now
on. But I certainly agree that it seems hard to believe that a cat
could enjoy something like that, though there are, of course,
exceptions to every rule.

It's likely animal abuse, because this is not a good place for a cat.
Some people shouldn't be trusted around cats. I hesitate to
proscribe punishment, but "education" might be in order.
