You haven't seen angry until you've seen a cat with his head under a faucet. If there's anything the stereotypically haughty house pets despise it's being wet. "I think it's the closest you can see in the animal world to someone giving you the finger," said veterinarian Marty Becker, co-author of "Why Do Cats Always Land on Their Feet?"

More reasons I love my dogs ;-p

They can’t wait to get wet, and they thoroughly enjoy the attention of getting toweled off and brushed later.

And they act like they actually love us, everyday, and never have bad moods.

I started bathing mine regularly as kittens. Now, they are fine with a bath.
