* In the 60's [[Batman]] movie, Catwoman angrily screams this line at The Penguin when it looks like Batman and Robin are [[So Bad ~~Its~~ Good|about to use a bazooka to sink the pre-nuclear submarine the supervillains bought wholesale from the navy.]] The big climactic fight on the deck also has Catwoman throwing her pet cat at Batman, who in turn tosses it into a rubber raft.

Line 81:

* Francine's Cat "Nemo" in ''[[Arthur (Animation)|Arthur]]'' was afraid of water as a result of being read ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]]'' until she hypnotized him into thinking otherwise.

* The ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' cartoon, "Fin 'N Catty", features a cat trying to eat a goldfish despite his obsessive-compulsive fear of water (even one drop makes him run to get a paper towel and dry off furiously). After being trapped in a flooded shower stall, he not only overcomes his fear, but he also [[Super Not Drowning Skills|starts sleeping inside a fishbowl]].

* ''[[Cat Dog]]''; another way Cat's a [[Foil]] to his other half [[Dogs Are Dumb|Dog]].

* There was an episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' where Gary the snail (which is the show's equivalent to a cat) didn't want to take a bath and SpongeBob tried many ways to get him to take one, this case is particularly unusual considering that the entire show takes place ''underwater''.

Line 88:

* In the ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures (Animation)|Jackie Chan Adventures]]'' episode "Enter the Cat", Valmont (and later Jade) is transformed into a [[Catgirl|Cat Guy]] after being scratched by a cat statue. Jade is trying to retrieve the statue for Jackie, but Valmont hears her and corners her. So she grabs a hose and turns it on him, full blast. He yowls and runs off while Jade says this trope verbatim.

* In the animated Disney film ''[[The Aristocats (Disney)|The Aristocats]]'', while on their way back to Paris, Duchess, Thomas O'Malley and the kittens all walk onto a railroad track, but when a train comes, the cats all duck underneath the rails, but in the process Marie falls into a nearby river and she cannot swim. O'Malley jumps into the water and gets Marie back to shore, but then it turns out that O'Malley also cannot swim as well. As a result he had to rely entirely on a pair of geese in order for him to get out of the water.

* In the ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode, "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Sweet and Elite]]", Rarity [[Mind Over Matter|telekinetically]] forced a quick shower on her cat Opal in an attempt to make her "my cat got sick" excuse more real. Much yowling was heard during the impromptu bath, with Opal giving a [[Death Glare]] to her owner afterwards.

* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode, "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Sweet and Elite]]", Rarity [[Mind Over Matter|telekinetically]] forced a quick shower on her cat Opal in an attempt to make her "my cat got sick" excuse more real. Much yowling was heard during the impromptu bath, with Opal giving a [[Death Glare]] to her owner afterwards.

* Done more subtly in the third movie of [[Shrek]] where a soaking, shivering, near-traumatized Puss in Boots is clinging onto Shrek after the trio dunk themselves in water. Anyone in the audience can tell he obviously didn't enjoy the experience.
