Not all cats hate water! We once had a black cat who loved to take a dip in the bathtub. We first found this out when daughter #4 called me upstairs to witness that the kitten had jumped into the bathtub with her and was swimming!
From then on, the two youngest daughters kept some small cat toys by the tub, and that cat would jump into the tub with them and chase his toys in the water.

Our cats regard the kitchen sink as a drinking fountain.

All 4 of my cats liked taking baths . They hated drying off because they’d get cold.
@8 Simples ,close the door..I bought a fancy water fountain for my cats ,clean filtered running water .
Have i seen any of them using it ? No i bloody haven’t ,ungrateful little sods.
PS, today one of them brought home a live Rabbit .I had to take it to the local wildlife rescue place ,i swear they have taken years of my life .

If you bathe kittens when they are small, they can learn to like it.

Also, I was one of the presumably large crowd of readers who forwarded the link to PZ, so I have helped make the world a tiny bit nicer (purrs contentedly while considering killing, mayhem and the schratching of posts).
You are going to need a bigger bag of Dreamies .

It all depends on the cat! Some hate water. Some love it. Some are kind of ambivalent.
Your cat isn’t evil PZ, it just hates you and wants to murder you in your sleep. It’s natural.
Not saying that PZ has been infected by Toxoplasma gondii, but…
Cats and water.
They have a natural fascination with hydrodynamics.
