10 cat breeds that like water

Cat breeds that like water may not be the norm, but they’re more common than you might think. While we often consider dogs to be the ones who’ll bound joyfully into the ocean, several of our feline friends are equally smitten with the wet stuff.

It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise given that big cats in the wild will regularly swim or bathe in rivers to cool themselves down and the only reason most domestic cats don’t follow suit is likely because we haven't exposed them to water.

Even if your kitty doesn’t like to get wet because they’re not used to being submerged, you’ve probably still noticed that they have a fascination with water. Whether it’s dipping their paws into a water fountain designed for pets or playing with the kitchen faucet, most cats find fresh flowing water hard to resist.

Cat breeds that like water tend to be outgoing and possess a love of adventure and many of them can be easily trained to wear a cat harness and walk on a lead, so if you’re looking for a pal to accompany you on walks near the water, one of these feline furkids could be just what you’re after!
