A cat may drown if it falls into the river. This is because most cats are averse to water and have never been in water, so they may not necessarily know how to swim. If they fall into the water, they may drown. Generally, do not try to put your cat in the water. If you want your cat to learn to swim, it is recommended to learn in a safe environment.

What to do if a cat falls into the river

1. When a cat falls into the water, rescue it immediately.

2. If the cat is choked by water, grab its hind legs with both hands, hold it upside down for 4-20 seconds, and shake it up and down 3 or 4 times to pour out the water in its lungs. When breathing is very weak, let the cat lie horizontally with its neck stretched out, and pull its tongue in and out in conjunction with the breathing.

3. If necessary, perform artificial respiration and heart massage, and send the patient to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner.
