She will fight me when I first put her in the tub, but that's what soft claws are great for. After awhile she loves it.

There are a few cat breeds that are known for their love of or lack of aversion to water/bathing, such as Turkish Vans, Bengals, Savannah...

The Turkish Vans especially are very often fond of water (these are white kitties with orange markings, usually on their ears and tail).

I've always wanted a Turkish Van, just because of their love of water.
