Why does my cat hate water?
There is no for sure explanation as to why some cats have an aversion to water. Scientists believe it’s due to the fact that as cats were domesticated we limited their interaction with water. There’s also the possibility that their distant relatives: lions and leopards avoid the water in fear of predators that lurk beneath the surface. Though there are breeds of cats that love the water. One such breed is the Turkish Angora. Not only will these cats possibly hop in the shower with you, but they may jump into your pool to go for a swim! Other cat breeds that adore water would be the Maine Coon, Japanese Bobtail, American Bobtail, Manx, Norwegian Forest Cat, American Short-hair, Turkish Van, and Bengal cats.
