Our cat, Neo, likes water and he loves to swim.

Finally, I Can Really Give Something Back!

I wish this could've been around when I was homeschooling. For the first time in my life, I'm not worried about how I'll earn an income. I’m not here to convince you to check it out, but I want to share that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that might disappear early next year (2025). Below, you’ll find a few of the products that I create videos for, earning a commission each time someone buys from my video. If you want to make more money than you ever dreamed, head over to TikTok and explore the TikTok Shop for Creators (it is 100% free). This is my way of giving back. I want everyone who needs a miracle like this to know about it!

Anyone Can Do This!



The Cat that Likes Water

Our cat, Neo, in the swimming pool.

Our cat, Neo, likes water and he loves to swim. We found this out by accident one day when I gave in to Alex's pleas to let him put Neo in the pool.

Neo always looked like he was about to jump in himself, but never quite did. He would get down real low to the ground and lean over the rim as far as he could and play with the surface of the water.

I told Alex he could carry Neo in and then let him swim back. It was an extremely hot day and I think Neo was ready for a cool down. Alex carried Neo on his shoulder and walked slowly into the water. As he walked, the water reached Neo's tail, and then his back paws, and his stomach, and finally, it reached all the way to just below his front legs.

Neo just sat there, looking around at all the water. He didn't make the slightest attempt to get away.

Then Alex turned to face me and Neo took that as his sign to swim. He pushed off and swam to the top step, where he stood in two inch deep water for a few minutes, then got out and started licking himself dry. After that, Alex took him out on a regular basis and Neo seemed to enjoy every minute of it.

One day I took Neo out myself, just to see if he trusted me the way he trusted Alex. I couldn't believe it! I didn't even hold on to him. I had him draped over my shoulder and gave just enough support to keep him from sliding off. He really didn't seem to mind being in the water. He stayed on my shoulder until I turned and then he was off!

When Alex's Aunt Linda saw him in the pool with Neo, she snapped these pictures: Alex and our cat Neo in the swimming pool. She called to Alex to look at her and when he did, Neo thought it was time to swim. You can tell how calm he is. He likes water!
