Taking a pet on the trip is one of the most fascinating goals that a human being should do in their lifetime. Most of the dogs love digging the sand by the shore, and they do not mind swimming with their beloved owners to keep them company. When the situation is applied to the world of cats, it’s a real nightmare that no one wants to recall. Obviously, cats and water don’t mix. According to the KIT-ideology, water can make their gorgeous fur look unflattering, can turn a dreamy fluffy body into a soaking wet, pocket-sized one. So instead of diving into the ocean as other creatures do, cats lick themselves to get their bodies cleaned, and it is called self-grooming.

So why cats are water haters in general?

“Cats groom themselves with constant regular licking, which stops oils from building up on their fur.” – Lambert Wang, Head of Product Development & Operations at Cat Person, explained.

“Thus, their coats are not very waterproof so they can get very cold and feel heavy when wet, which is why many of them don’t like it!” – He continued.

When you notice closely and attentively to the cat’s tongue when they lick you (God bless!), there are lots of solid papillae, which is used as a ‘comb’ for them to groom the fur. The grooming ritual is essential for all cats, and these little paws and tongues are enough!

If you have ever seen an iconic beckoning cat figure in Japan, that’s definitely a Japanese Bobtail. These mellow felines love to play with water but they don’t want to soak their whole bodies into it. Just a slight touch from the paws, they feel content enough. However, Japanese Bobtails are as smart as a whip, they know how to open the faucet by themselves. They also have longer hind legs than any other cats, so their agility ability cannot be defeated easily. They love climbing on high perches.
