Not only do cats not like to get wet, they don't like being
asked about it either. Nor do they invite your attention to
any of their habits. They are totally independent creatures
and will pay you no heed whatsoever - except, of course, at
mealtime.
But they do want you to know that rumors to the contrary,
they are not afraid of water. In fact, bigger cats, such as
tigers, actually enjoy swimming. So why do Sylvester, Fluffy,
[your cat's name here] and other house cats never go for a
dip?
Simply because its inconvenient. Did you ever notice how
obsessive cats are about cleaning themselves in general, and cleaning off anything that gets on them in particular? If
they go for a swim, they would have to lick all that water
off their fur. With their busy schedules, they just can't be
bothered: So many mice, so little time!
