• Abyssinian cats are usually not afraid of water and often enter the bathroom when their owner is bathing. They can even play in the water, showing interest in this element;
• Maine Coon. Despite their massive and formidable appearance, Maine Coons do not panic when the owner decides to wash them. They may be wary at first, especially at first contact with water, but over time, bathing will become familiar and routine for them;
• Sphinx. For Sphynx owners, it is important to remember that cats of this breed cannot be bathed in cold water. Sphynxes have nothing against water procedures, but low temperatures can cause stress and lead to health problems.

We will remind you, the owners of cats often notice how their pets knead a blanket with their paws or even give a "message" to people. Such behavior is natural for animals, but it is not observed in every individual. Scientists have studied this behavior of cats and explained why they like to cross their paws.
