Some cats may dislike water due to their natural instincts and behaviors as descendants of desert-dwelling wild cats. Their ancestors did not need to swim or hunt in water, so domestic cats may have inherited this aversion to water. Additionally, cats have dense fur that becomes heavy and uncomfortable when wet, which can contribute to their dislike of water.

Some cats may dislike water due to their natural instinct as desert-dwelling animals. Their ancestors did not encounter large bodies of water often and did not need to swim, so many domestic cats today may be uncomfortable with water. Additionally, a cat's fur may become heavy and waterlogged when wet, making it difficult for them to move and escape potential predators.
