My two kitty-kids, Sofie and Sam, love to watch when I take a bath. They're curious about the bubbles, the water moving around in the tub, the smell, I figure. Each bats at the water, testing its depth—and I've always wondered whether they wanted to jump in with me.
Animal behaviorist Arden Moore wants to dispel the rumor that cats dislike the water. Her childhood pet Corky, a Siamese, apparently loved to fish by taking a swim in the lake by her house, snagging bluegills who came too close to shore. Imagine the sight! 
Have any idea what breeds of cat people prefer most?
This is probably not a surprise: They are the Domestic shorthair and the domestic longhair, the mutts of the feline community.
Some cat lovers swear by feeding their kitty dry cat food. Others feed their kitty wet food exclusively. Some use treats as training tools.
Truth is, cat nutrition can come from all these sources plus another: moist food.
There's a nifty bit of information right here on our site called the Know You Cat Survey.
You can peruse a plethora of statistics gathered from a cats-and-behavior question and answer session of more than 4,000 cat lovers.
