The average cat hates water exposure, so they run away when you try to bathe them. But Siamese cats are unique because they are less likely to avoid you during bath time.
But do Siamese cats like water? The short answer is yes, they do. Even if they aren’t exactly ecstatic about their monthly bath, it doesn’t mean they don’t like splashing water around when they see a puddle.
This guide will dive deeper into the subject by helping you comprehend the behavior of Siamese cats and their connection with water.
Siamese cats enjoy being stimulated by new environments and experiences. Of course, this infatuation is expected because they’re an inquisitive breed.
All you need to do is study their faces to understand how hypnotized they are by water.
For example, the first time they see your bathroom faucet running, they instinctively check it out. These curious cats paw at the water first to see what it feels like and what happens when they do.
Like most animals, Siamese cats rely on their survival instincts. Before becoming our beloved household pets, locating running water was vital for them, and they depended on their sharp hearing instead of their eyes to help them accomplish this goal.
This happens because it’s easier for them to listen to the sound of water than to hear water that isn’t flowing. A water bowl isn’t attractive to the Siamese, but they run excitedly to the source when they catch a hint of water running somewhere.
