If you’re a cat owner, you’re likely pretty familiar with how much your feline despises water.
If you don’t know how your cat feels about what comes out of the spigot, feel free to expose them to it at your own risk. Don’t blame me for the scratches and bites.

According to the Huffington Post, four lion cubs at the Smithsonian National Zoo were given a swim test this week.
