why do cats hate water so much?

[SNOWBALL]

Does anyone know this? Do their ancestors also hate water? I am assuming it is an evolutionary reason. Maybe it has something to do with lions being so vulnerable to certain water based predators like alligators.

Because they can't swim ldo

I haven't really seen cats swim much, but some dogs, especially retriever breeds, are very strong swimmers. I used to have a lab mix that could make headway against pretty strong river currents. Some breeds, like pugs and bulldogs can't swim, or, more accurately, they can swim but can't keep there nose above water, so they will drown if they can't get out quickly.

Ok, well then it's a nurture thing, not a nature thing.

Better question, why do cats hate Arrested Development so much? That show rules but cats could basically take it or leave it, what gives?
