00:00Have you ever seen a cat run away like crazy just from a single drop of water?

00:04It's gone so viral that many people now believe cats genuinely hate water.

00:08But is that a fact, or just them being dramatic?

00:12Well, experts have a fascinating explanation.

00:15Cats don't actually hate water, but they don't like the feeling of being wet and heavy.

00:20Their fur isn't waterproof like a duck's feathers.

00:23So when their fur gets soaked, it's uncomfortable, cold, and makes their movements feel heavy.

00:30Besides, the ancestors of modern cats originally came from desert regions.

00:35They weren't used to large amounts of water like the ones around us.

00:38So, their instinct tells them that water is something unfamiliar.

00:43However, there are some cat breeds that actually love water, like the Maine Coon or the Turkish Van.

00:51So, in conclusion, cats don't hate water.

00:55They just dislike the feeling of being wet.

00:57So, if your cat runs away during bath time, it's not because they hate you.
