Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

An aversion to water is one of the most well-known characteristics of

household cats. However, this isn’t true of all felines. Some large cats, such
as tigers, commonly take a dip to cool off or hunt prey, and even some
domesticated breeds are known to enjoy a swim when the opportunity
arises.
In general, however, domestic cats will go to great lengths to avoid getting
wet, and behaviorists have developed a number of theories to explain why.
One suggests that because the species evolved in dry climates and had
little exposure to rivers or lakes, water (except for drinking) is an element
they are unfamiliar with and thus avoid.
 Question
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

More likely, however, cats don’t like getting wet because of what water
does to their fur. Cats are fastidious animals that spend a great deal of their
day grooming themselves. Wet fur is extremely uncomfortable for a cat
and often takes a long time to dry. Wet fur is also heavier than dry and
thus makes a cat less nimble and easier for predators to catch.

example, can be a frightening experience for a cat and can make it fearful
of water for the rest of its life.
