We live in Atlanta, and if you have been paying attention to the news, you know we have no shortage of water lately. We were having a drought (for two or three years), but after rain on and off continually during the months of September, October and November, Noah himself might feel comfortable here. Given this plethora of water, I have had the opportunity to make a few observations about our fur-children’s like/dislike of the stuff. Everyone knows cats don’t like water. It is a fact that is so established it has become the fodder for email jokes, cartoon calendars and doggie dreams for decades. Despite this established fact, cats sometimes do things that increase the possibly if them getting wet. Our cat is no exception. She hates water. I am assuming this based on her reaction when accidentally splashed with a thimble’s worth of the fluid. Since I value my skin, I have never tested this theory. That said she places herself in positions likely to increase the chances of getting wet....
Life can get a little hairy at times.
