16 Wet Cats Who Were Definitely Not Expecting A Bath Today

It's a pretty well-known fact that most cats really do not like to get wet.

While most of the time cats can groom themselves, there are times when they just get into a big old mess and need a proper bath — water, pet-safe shampoo, and all.

There are some cats who enjoy a good swim or a warm bath, but they are few and far between. Most of them will do everything in their power to avoid a bath, including using their claws and letting out very angry meows.

My personal theory is that they just get embarrassed that their fluffy coats get all soggy and weighed down, and they get exposed for the scrawny little guys that they truly are.

Alas, what needs to be done needs to be done.

These 16 wet cats would all very much prefer a bit more privacy while they dry off, but they're just too cute to ignore!

Does your cat like to take nice, warm baths, or does she run the other way?

Where'd all the fluff go? I guess a bath is a quick way to slim down for the camera.
