You’re the meat shield between them and the water.

My soulcat used to demand I sit on the edge of the tub wrapped in a towel after a shower so she could cuddle up in my lap on the towel... I miss her

I live in the countryside and my better 3/4 has always had horses. We've had many cats at the stable and one in particular swam in bowls that the horses drunk from. One horse in particular preferred the water that tasted like cat.

If you introduce your cat to baths while they are young then they can learn to love them. This person’s cat seems to have no problem with water so good on them for accidentally stumbling into it!

Cats do hate water (except when they don't), but they love routine much more than they hate water.

Cat learnt human bath time meant cat sleeping on the shoulder time, cat will sleep on the shoulder every time the human takes a bath, water or not, because that's how reality works now in her world.

I'm just picturing the guy moving wrong and the cat goes in the water and panics, and the claws-out bloodbath that ensues

And while we’re at it, would it kill ya to maybe serve a few treats? A little tuna? C’mon pop. Make this a class establishment. A cat has requirements.

Warm.

one of mine does the same, it's adorable how much trust he has in me :-)

Omg, this must be one of them super sweet core long term memories for that guy, I'm def jelly.

i wish i could teach my cats to do this

Is this my pillow guy?
