Have you ever wondered why cats don't like water? Why do they get scared when they are near her, but still can't get away from the drinking fountain?
This fear is instilled in cats in the transition from wild to tame, in the process of domestication. Hence their aversion to water and the owner's agony at every attempt to bathe the cat. Some even refuse to drink water, writes Pet magazine.
Scientists believe that even wild cats from Asia, Africa and Europe had to be as far away from the lake as possible to avoid predators whose prey they were.
On the other hand, those who lived in warmer regions swam comfortably, admittedly out of necessity, to cool down. Such specimens belong to the order of fishing cats, or it is the Turkish Van variety.
These domesticated broad bows avoid water and despise bathing. But it is an inexplicable phenomenon why they are so fascinated by the jet flowing from the faucet and that the leaking water has such a magnetic effect on them.
That's why owners have been buying fountains for their pets more and more recently.
