Default Re: why do cats hate water so much?

[ QUOTE ]
Cats can love water if you start to bathe them and make them used to water when they are very small.

Older cats can learn to at least tolerate water. My wife and I adopt adult cats from shelters. I run warm water in the tub with cat bath soap) and then turn the faucet off. The I slowly place the cat in the water.

I believe the sound of the water running is scary to them. And cold water does not feel good.

I would recomend clipping their claws before giving them a bath the first time...
