Redditor Asks If She's An A**hole For Putting A Raincoat On Her Cat

by Liezel

As most of the world knows, a lot of domesticated cats don't particularly love the water. Some of them would even go to great lengths just to avoid one bath.

That said, they won't be able to avoid water their entire life so many cat owners try different methods to help their cats face their fear. Some people would slowly keep introducing water to their cats until they're kind of desensitized while others would make their cats wear stuff like boots or even raincoats so they won't get wet in the rain or such.

Of course, there's a proper way to do these things but they're perfectly normal and would actually help cat owners care for their cats a lot better. However, Redditor rainjacat's sister doesn't think so, especially about putting clothes on cats.

See OP puts a raincoat on her cat every time it rains and even though the cat isn't trying to remove it or show any adverse reactions to it, OP's sister thinks she's being cruel to the kitty. She thinks OP is an a**hole for doing this and now, OP is wondering if she's right after all.

Here's the whole story so you could get a clearer picture of the situation.

OP asks:

The cat seems to love the raincoat because it protects him from the rain when he goes outside

OP seems to be doing the best she can for her dear cat by making sure his needs are properly met despite the conditions that they're in. And that's a good thing, right?

Plus, the cat doesn't seem to mind the raincoat. It's not like it's going to be wearing it as well all day long, isn't it?

Many people in the comments section also agree that OP isn't the one in the wrong in this situation. Here are the top comments.
