Ever wonder why your cat watches in disgust from the windowsill while your dog belly-flops into the nearest puddle?

In this episode, we answer a question from Blake in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who noticed his cats want nothing to do with water while his dog treats every sprinkler like a water park.

We trace thousands of years of animal history — from the sun-baked deserts where domestic cats first evolved, to the icy waters that shaped swimming dogs like the Newfoundland — to explain why your pets feel so differently about water. Fun, fascinating, and packed with surprises, this one is for every pet lover who's ever been curious about their furry friends.
