This Cat Loves Taking A Bath So Much That His Siblings Started Loving It Too

Most cats are hydrophobic. Now, it doesn’t mean that they’re bigoted against water, it’s just what their instincts tell them to do, and for a good reason. Wet fur is extremely uncomfortable and takes a long time to dry, and what’s more, wet fur is also heavier, so it makes cats less nimble and more susceptible to predators. But that doesn’t mean that there are no exceptions to this rule. Baron, a ragdoll from Japan, along with his other two siblings, Jina and Yupa, are the exception. Take a moment to realize how unlikely it is. Let’s say that one out of a hundred cats loves water; this in turn means that the probability of having three hydrophilic cats is one in a million! But someone more cynical might say, “a cat likes to have a soak in the tub, so what?” There’s an easy rebuttal: well, have you ever seen a cat in bath that looks as graceful as Baron? My bets are that you haven’t!

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.
