Would this be a natural paradox?

Question

cats love fish but hate water. i am taking about house cats and yes i no i am basing this on a feline sereotype. but, say u no the most stereotypical house cat, would it not be paradoxical(dont no if thats a word) for him to try to catch fish and yet hate water?

Answer 1

Well, cats don't like to get wet because then they don't retain body heat as well and they have to spend hours drying themselves off. But I don't think they mind just getting a paw wet. After all, house cats are known for kind of "playing with their food" and fish make the perfect snack (tasty, tasty fish).

Whoops! - didn't really answer your question. Not really. I think it's just that they want the fish more than they dislike getting wet. It's a bit like humans making a small sacrifice or doing something you don't particularly like to obtain something you really want/like.

Answer 2

Yeah, I think that's right, if you're being stereotypical. =]
