Why are cats afraid of water?

It may be a little hard to believe, but in fact cats themselves can swim, and their swimming skills are quite good, and further, in addition to cats, all cats are also very good at swimming, such as tigers, lions, leopards, etc., and it is also very pleasant and natural to jump into the pond to take a bath in the hot summer.

It is probably because of such an obvious contrast that people have always been full of indescribable curiosity about "why cats are afraid of water", and even invested a lot of time and energy to conduct a considerable amount of research on it.

According to the most scientific and authoritative research results, the main reason why cats are afraid of water is because the ancestors of domestic cats live in a relatively arid and water-scarce inland desert environment, and lack of cognition and coping with "water" in their genes; In addition, the surface of the cat's fur is covered with oil secreted by the skin, which allows the cat to mask its own smell and avoid being detected by enemies and prey, and water can destroy this protective film, putting the cat in danger, so the cat will never let itself get wet unless it is necessary.

In addition, the cat's ears are the most important sensory organs and balance organs of cats, if water enters will seriously affect their judgment of the surrounding environment and their own action, and the water will also dilute the cat's own smell, so that the cat loses the discrimination of the same kind and itself, which is also a serious problem for cats who also rely on the sense of smell.

Of course, as we all know, the most unreliable thing in the world is often "the scientific conclusions drawn from scientific research", for example, now, the shopkeeper sister has her own unique explanation for the question of "why cats are afraid of water".

"Actually, the reason why cats hate bathing is because they look ugly after bathing."

"Huh? And this statement? ”

"Yes, because cats are very proud and confident little creatures, they have to dress themselves up all the time, and they spend a lot of time grooming them - just like girls spend a lot of energy on clothing and hair."

Speaking of which, the shopkeeper girl, who also dressed herself beautifully, did not forget to playfully make a cute grimace at Hao Qi, who couldn't understand.

"However, it's like a girl who dresses up beautifully and turns into a chicken when it rains, no matter how beautiful and cute the cat is, as long as it touches the water...... All of a sudden, it was in its original form! ”

…… Wait a minute, why do you suddenly feel like this statement makes sense?

To say that Xia Miaomiao has become the cat now, although it is the type that is not good-looking, whether it is the color or type of coat, there is nothing special at all, but, at least in normal times, whether it is shiny fur, fluffy tail, tender snow-white paws and belly, or a cute little face that makes people buddy and bleed, Hao Qi will always be deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.

But now?

“……”

“……”

“……”

"So that's it! What the hell is going on now! ”

The cat girlfriend, who was already overwhelmed by the water, finally couldn't help it after hearing the conversation between Hao Qi and the shopkeeper's sister, especially after seeing Hao Qi's strange eyes.

"Hao Qi! Go get the mirror! Let people see what it looks like now! ”

“…… Ahem. ”

Hao Qi, who couldn't respond to his girlfriend clearly, and couldn't bear to let her see her current miserable appearance, could only hide the embarrassment of the scene with a dry cough.

It was because of his behavior that he wanted to cover up that the cat in the bathtub could no longer continue to be stable.

"I'm going out! Let me see what I've become now! ”

“…… Ah, it's okay, don't be afraid, little one, it'll be fine in no time......"

In the face of the cat's sudden struggle and resistance, the shopkeeper's sister was surprised and hurriedly tried to comfort and subdue her, and during the cat's struggle, the water in the bathtub naturally splashed out a lot, most of which got on her body, wetting most of her clothes.

"Hey...... I guess the cat heard what we said just now. ”

The shopkeeper's sister, who was a little embarrassed, could only try to appease Xia Miaomiao, who was resisting, while explaining to Hao Qi on the side with a wry smile.

"That...... I can't spare my hands right now, can you hand me the cat shampoo over there? ”

With that, she rubbed the water droplets on her cheeks with her shoulders again, and then continued to patiently soothe the restless cat.

"Alright, little one, I promise, when you're done washing and drying, you'll be prettier than before, right?"

“…… I don't believe it! Hao Qi! Show me what I look like now! Otherwise, I'm not done with you! ”

“……”

Hao Qi, who delivered the bottle of "cat shampoo" needed by the shopkeeper's sister to her, took out her mobile phone after hesitating for a moment.

Well, frankly, he wanted to take a picture of his girlfriend's current appearance as a black history as early as just now, but he has never been embarrassed, as for now......

"Miao Miao...... It's your own request, and when the time comes...... Don't blame me. ”

Click!

While silently completing the action of throwing the pot in his heart, he has also quickly captured the picture in his hand, and at the same time as the photo effect was presented, Hao Qi also turned his mobile phone for the first time, and turned the screen towards the cute cat who had been trying to open his eyes wide since just now.

And then......

"Ahhhh

The terrible screams even alarmed the veterinarian girl who had helped to take care of her temporarily on the first floor.

"Didn't you mean taking a bath? How do you do it and kill pigs...... Killing a cat the same? ”

“…… I don't know what to say about this. ”

The shopkeeper's sister looked at Hao Qi, then pursed her lips and forced a smile to explain.

"Just now, the guest took a picture of the cat's current appearance with his mobile phone to show the cat, and then ...... The cat seems to be frightened by the way she looks. ”

“…… Enough of you. ”

Hearing that this was the case, the shopkeeper's sister also looked helpless, glanced at the cat's loveless appearance, and quickly turned her face, and then muttered, "Inexplicable lines hurriedly ran downstairs."

"Sure enough...... Another alien. ”

"Aliens?"

Hao Qi, who happened to hear the keyword, turned his inquiring eyes to the shopkeeper's sister.

"Flutter."

The shopkeeper's sister couldn't hold back anymore and laughed directly.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, she has always thought that the reason why cats are afraid of water is because as long as they touch water, they will show the original form of aliens."

“…… Belch. ”

It's nonsense at first, but wait a minute......

I took a look at the hair that was now wet with water, and the figure was seriously "shrunk" and there was only a big head that was occupied by two big eyes, and the cat girlfriend with a frightened and strange look and grinning teeth......

Burst...... Poofhahaha
