1. LOL
How in god's name did this cat stand for that? If I were a cat and someone was trying to put that on me I would kill him.

2. You'd have to sedate my cats pretty heavily to get them into a contraption like that
Ok maybe just put some cheese in the helmet and Abbott would go in there

3. I saw a special that included this girlcat
She loves her scuba adventures. Loves the water, but hates it in her face. She's quite graceful and peaceful in the films.

Owner speculated she enjoys the buoyancy cause she's little bits plump.

If I recall correctly, the gear cost $20,000 to have made. My cats will remain terrestrial.

5. If my cats want to explore underwater the need to grow their own gills first
until then they can suffer upon dry land.

4. I tried to put a simple harness on my cat
and it was if she'd sprouted four extra legs, each one tipped with razor-sharp claws. She'd probably smother me in my sleep if I tried something like that!

8. I can put Abbott in a harness but if I try to put Evita in one....
well I don't think I have enough medical insurance to cover the aftermath of that.
