Are you talking about drinking water or bathing? My cats love to drink water, however they are not very happy with a bath but since I have been bathing them since they were young they do not mind as much but still do not love water.

I encouraged my cats to drink more water by buying one of those pet fountains from Petsmart. It has a water "reservoir" a filter and a small water pump that pumps the water down along an incline and into a bowl. Since the water is circulating around, it is well-oxygenated. Cats love their water well-oxygenated. This is one way you can encourage kitty to drink more.
For the really stubborn or lazy water drinker, a diet of wet canned cat food as the primary meal may be in order. Canned cat food is 75% water and feeding kitty this will ensure that he gets enough water to keep kidneys and bladder functioning well.
Also, it never does any harm to add a coupe of teaspoonfuls of water in kitty's food just to make sure that he is getting enough water. I always mix some water in my cats' wet canned cat food.

you can't make a cat like water,
it's in their blood not to, but try running a little water so ur cat can check it out, or put it on a dish and let it play a little.
If you are talking about bathing ur cat, there are non water related products our there that work well.
You can't force a cat to like something, but giveing it a treat for playing in the water could work as well.

Sometimes cats don't like water but one tip is to put it in a little amount of water but don't pressure him. He/she may get used to it! Most cats don't like their hair wet.... they clean themselves :D

well i had cats who all hatd water , BUT 2 liked it. I would leave the sind or tube to where it would havea slow drizzle(not dipping) and Trish she would go up to it and hit it. laid in the tub and watched it. Piccalo(named after a guy in DBZ) he loved to lick your fet after a shower ansd rub on you clean body getting you all dirty again.
Half the time i would take baths and they would watch me. 9 cats(one was outdoor always since she was abandon by previous owner in the nieghborhood), but 3 knew how to open doors so no privacy.
