It is well known that cats and water do not go together at all, or very rarely, but have you ever wondered why this is so? At first glance, they seem to despise it, but on the other hand, you can’t separate them from the fountain from which water is slightly leaking or dripping.
The history of cats and their aversion to water dates back to the time of their domestication, which is why bathing a cat today is an almost impossible mission. Some cat owners even have problems forcing their furry friends to drink the same.
According to scientists, feline aversion to water stems from the fact that their ancestors, wild cats in Europe, Africa and China, had to stay away from water, i.e. lakes and other bodies of water to avoid predators lurking here.
If you have a cat, or have ever had one, you know how much they avoid bathing. It is interesting that the leaking faucet is a constant source of fascination, so among cat lovers, fountains for pets with constantly running water have become a real hit.
