He may like it but cats also purr when they are scared or nervous.There really is no need to bathe him unless he gets into something dirty.By bathing him you are removing natural oils he needs for his coat.Cats bathe themselves.

Cats purr when they are experiencing a traumatic event. Purring is a self-soothing behavior to help them get through stuff like your thinking he likes baths.
Of course, you may have a really laid back cat who actually likes baths. Some Persians do. But if he is crying, trying to pull the drain plug out, has both paw wrapped around your wrist or is shaking he is just wants it over with already.

Cats can purr when they're anxious or in pain, but I think your cat just likes it. I bet it has to do with you massaging it, and the warmth of the water.

Every animal show his love in many different ways. When cats feel good and calm, they purr. Since my childhood, we 'er having cat. So I have a lot of experience about them. You know they are also purr when you gently rub her on her head and on chin. They find it quite amusing.

Sometimes cats purr when nervous--but maybe your cat likes being bathed. If so, consider yourself blessed. My cats are like demons when bathed!

Because he likes it. I had two cat that I hand raised and I bathed them when they were young. I only did this because they weren't even weened and couldn't clean themselves. Cats generally purr when they like something. Doesn't he ever purr when you pet him?

Cats don't always purr when they are happy. Yes it could mean he enjoys it but it could also mean that he is not happy or stressed.

Yes that is amazing, I carry my cat near the sink & I,ll be clawed something awful, so if I do want to give her a bath I have to hold her two front paws as hard as I can or she,ll bolt like mad & then I have to chase a wet cat around my apartment to finish the job, your lucky, enjoy it.

wow he must reallylike it. perhaps it was very aware when he ws in he mothers womb maturing. Or pehaps just a very young age it remembers being bated by his mother and that is a comforting memory.
You have a very rare cat! Youre lucky!
