Cats are generally clean animals. However, if your cat gets dirty, you may need to give it a bath. In most cases, cats hate water and they’ll scream and protest while you’re trying to wash them clean.
One reason is that water weighs down a cat’s fur and makes them feel uncomfortable. Another reason is that cats feel out of control while you’re giving them a bath so they feel anxious. Still another reason is that cats don’t like taking orders from humans when it should be the other way around.
