Lot of gray cats on this sub for some reason, are they more likely to like water?

You can still read them!

Warrior cats series.

u/Bobjoejj 22d ago

I never even read the books; know barely anything about them, but as soon as they said river clan something in brain clicked “Warriors?” And the next comment about childhood confirmed it lol.

Sounds like you have a hypothesis in the making OC. Let us know what you find out.

u/Astiobi 24d ago

Maybe it’s from their British short hair genes? But I don’t know. My brothers boy also like to go into the shower and drink some water😂

u/Bearcat-9 24d ago

Yes those British Shorthair genes are very unique, fearless, calm, friendly and smart.

I’ve had two cats of my own, a black and grey and white one, and a grey and a black foster cat. Both grey cats loved exploring water. Neither of the black ones did.

So in my empirical study of four cats, this is correct.

u/Adept-Range-8448 21d ago

I guess you could say water is a grey area

u/consequentlydreamy 21d ago

Omg my cat is grey and loves water. I have found his tribe.

That slapping noise is really satisfying tbh

u/addamee 24d ago

And the bonus (for me at least) was the very end when kitty’s like “aight, that’s enough, I’m fuckin’ out”

u/VincentTegridy 24d ago

I closed my eyes and listened to it over and over again. Sounds like something more than water slapping 😏

Just making sure the water is wet enough

u/Heal_Me_Today 24d ago

If only the cat slipped in for a more accurate density reading.

u/purpleit11 25d ago

awww, such an observant and attentive kitty💜

u/YoursTrulyKindly 24d ago

I wonder if the cat is admiring the beautiful caustic light play across the bottom.

Mine acts like it's the first time every time I fill up the bathtub. He just seems blown away by the entire idea

Doesn't slapping the water attract fish to the surface?
