Cats are naturally afraid of water, but that doesn’t stop some from taking on the extreme sport of hanging out in wet places even when not necessary. This cat is relaxed in a bathtub, even if it seems that it should be jumping the moment it touched the surface of the water.

Just take a look at the majestic peace in its eyes. Isn’t that so charming? This commenter really put it so well.
