ELI5: How did cats develop an affinity for eating fish if many of them also dislike water?
gpt
Fish is a popular example with cats, mainly because of house cats. If you were to talk about all "FELINES", you wouldn't associate fish with most of them. When was the last time you saw a Lion, Cheetah or Jaguar eat a fish in the wild?

Most house cats are curios creatures and will want to play with the moving fish in the fish tank. Cats are also carnivores and eat all small animals. Mice, fish and birds.

It's also true that many of them dislike water because that's not the natural way they keep their coats clean. They usually dislike anything that messes up their coat.
