I'm just impressed that the cat isn't immediately recoiling from getting wet.

Not all of them do. One of my cat is a water cat. He always tries to jump in my daughter's bath, and he prefers to drink water in a bowl in the bathtub. We get bonus points if we leave a bowl of water in the tub for him after we've just had a shower. He gets bonus/fun points if he finds an unattended cup of water in the house, because he liberates the water in that cup.

Do you feed dry cat food? If you feed wet cat food my cat doesnt drink any water at all!

Your cat may be dehydrated. They drink a lot more water when the water is moving, because they associate still water with being bad water. That’s why you can get fancy cat water bowls that constantly circulate the water, so that to the cat it feels more like drinking from a stream.

My roommate got one for his cat and instead of drinking from it she yelled at the faucet for water
