Iirc, the way to get cats to enjoy water is to get them used to it early, and to make it fairly warm so it’s not a shock to them. Like getting in a jacuzzi instead of a cold pool.
I’ve never had a cat that liked water, and never seen a reason to get them used to water. One of the things I love about them is that they are more independent and less maintenance than dogs. They keep themselves clean which is great. I won’t be putting any in a tub or trying to make them like it either 😊. I like them how they are.
Most cats shouldn’t be bathed unless they’re kittens with fleas, have some kind of condition requiring it or get some kind of mess all over them. But apparently sphynx cats need regular bathing because of oil buildup, to prevent acne and such. I didn’t know that until I started seeing these sphynxes in baths pictures here lately lol
People really put cats in bathtubs? And the cats are down with that?
