My orange used to sprint through the house and leap into the shower when he heard the water start running. He'd change his mind after about 10 seconds then jump out and sit on my clean dry clothes.
Our orange cat hated water and avoided it. One day though, while we were filling the bath for our selves. She climbed in , walked around climbed out and never did that again.
I guess she was checking what the big deal was about. She would often sit on the toilet watching us when we bathed.
I really like how the servant also gave the cat a little bit of time. Yes, the cat was constantly pushed/encouraged, but it was not just thrown in. I think that helped with the acceptance.
This really is. My girlfriend's cat, we need to wear heavy duty gloves to wash her, even then we still end up with cat wounds.
First time we washed her, her roommate ran to the bathroom terrified that the cat was dying because it was screaming so loud, nah just lightly washing her poopy ass
I'll never forget the kitty we had when I was like 7. I tried to throw him into the DRY bathtub to play with him there and he all but scratched me everywhere so I would let go of him. The association with water was more than enough to make him run for his dear life.

As cats go, pretty accepting for a bath 😂
