Cats will also groom themselves as a reaction to stress, so this may
be where the hairballs would come from.

Have Kat meals ever been shown? If so, were there any vegetable,
bread, etc? Just wondering, because cats are pretty much pure
carnivores.

Tigers and Jaguars are pretty much the only cats that will readily
take to water, though most if not all cats can swim. The fact that
Kats actually enjoy water is likely just another case of allowing
reason to overcome instinct, like us apes have done as well.
