I thought cats were afraid of the water. I thought big cats were big afraid of the water. Apparently not. A one-year old tiger jumped in with a female trainer to do a water dance in South Carolina. Yeah! If she called me into the water to dance, I’d go, too.

Wouldn’t it be cool if animals and people could ‘dance’ together in all areas of life? And not just in the pool? Well, it’d be great to get along with all God’s critters except for snakes wanting to give me a massage. I’ll pass on that. Write to GP and let us know how you think animals and people can get along better. Any ideas?

For all those that thought cats can’t swim we have news for you. They can if they are being taught, and that’s exactly what Dr Bhagavan Antle did for the last 25 years.

Born in Arizona on a vast cattle ranch and with a passion for wild and exotic animals, Dr Bhagavan Antle is now the director of T.I.G.E.R.S and is considered one of the foremost animal trainers in the country with more than 350 bit cats trained for movies, TV commercials, and live performances. Would we have fun if tigers would play with us? Probably not!

I salute his lions swimming lessons but I think animals should be left alone in their natural habitat and not used to entertain humans.
