Hi All,

We want our cat to experience scuba diving. Is there some sort of special suit, or something that I can purchase, to keep him safe underwater?
 
I have to ask what Mr Biggles did to you that you would want to torture him this way?
 
Plastic bag should work, sort off, I will try one with one of my neighbours many cats in our pool and let you know after the weekend ;)
 
Very few cats actually like being in water. You might want to update your emergency room coverage before attempting this.
 
My question is, just when and how did Mr. Biggles express an interest in diving? In my experience, families sometimes decide to all learn to dive together, but one (or more) family members were not a part of the decision, and those members are often not too excited, maybe even reluctant, to get involved. Making them do the course is not a good idea. Similarly, sometimes on a dive boat a diver will not feel right, or perhaps be a bit stressed over a dive, and not want to do it. As you know, we teach that you should never force that diver to do the dive. So back to Mr. Biggles. IF he expresses an interest in diving, and IF at the time of the dive he communicates, through word other sound or action no hesitation or undue stress, then he should join you. Other wise, not cool. Also, a plastic bag is no good- the claws thing.

In reading this post I have to ask, where does one get a cat a C-card? If in fact some thing happens or goes wrong, are you liable? Will he be required to have a pony bottle, and if he does what size? I have in fact heard of Cat burglars, but never Cat divers. :rofl3:
