8. I Hate Baths!
Potential camera: iPad Where to Purchase: Apple Store, Walmart Average Price: $400–1,400* This image serves as just one more illustration of how much cats detest water—there are plenty more on the Internet. Cats detest water because their fur is unpleasant when wet and is difficult to dry. Cats with wet fur are less agile because it sags and is heavy.

Depending on the breed, our finicky feline friends may occasionally need a bath, though they’ll likely put up a spirited argument against it. This particular cat seems to have lost the battle, looking as though the experience of being washed was akin to starring in a full-blown horror movie. Its wide-eyed expression and tense posture perfectly capture the drama of the moment, making it clear that bath time is anything but relaxing for this furry companion.
Cats are known for their independence and strong opinions, and bath time often brings out their most theatrical side. While some breeds tolerate water better than others, many cats view it as an unwelcome intrusion into their daily routine. This photo humorously highlights the struggle between pet owners trying to maintain hygiene and their cats’ determination to avoid it at all costs.
