Most cats are hydrophobic. Now, it doesn’t mean that they’re bigoted against water, it’s just what their instincts tell them to do, and for a good reason. Wet fur is extremely uncomfortable and takes a long time to dry, and what’s more, wet fur is also heavier, so it makes cats less nimble and more susceptible to predators. But that doesn’t mean that there are no exceptions to this rule. Baron, a ragdoll from Japan, along with his other two siblings, Jina and Yupa, are the exception. Take a moment to realize how unlikely it is. Let’s say that one out of a hundred cats loves water; this in turn means that the probability of having three hydrophilic cats is one in a million! But someone more cynical might say, “a cat likes to have a soak in the tub, so what?” There’s an easy rebuttal: well, have you ever seen a cat in bath that looks as graceful as Baron? My bets are that you haven’t!
