Funny photos of what cats look like before and after bathing (16 photos)
Heartbreaking photos of wet cats, or why they hate water.
What are these huge eyes worth, in which one can read resentment for betrayal?
Perhaps the cat, after such a procedure, dreams of revenge
But cats' hatred of water is easily explained
So, cats are very bad at change (for example, unlike dogs)
And if the cat has never been washed or done it rarely, it will be extremely stressful for her.
In addition, wet fur is very inconvenient to groom: it is heavier, which means the cat will become less agile
And from this it follows that it is more difficult for a cat to hunt, but for the enemy it becomes more accessible
Cats spend a lot of time grooming themselves.
And they definitely won’t be happy if their fur smells something wrong.
Evolution also matters here: cats as a species developed in a dry climate
They rarely came into contact with bodies of water, often only for drinking
That is why during evolution they did not have the need to swim
Of course, in emergency cases the cat can swim
But it will be stressful for her
And maybe she'll lose one of her nine lives
