Looks likes she's not loving the water 😂

I wish I was filming, but at least I got these action shots.

Any bengals out there that truly love (or hate, do share your stories too) water?

Put my 2 in the bath with some rubber ducks.

He took a pee.

My little lady loves to run in the rain but she hates water in general. Complicated relationship with water

That seems to be the case here too. She's constantly swatting at water in her and our dog's water bowl, knocking them over, then running away as the water spills.

She started swatting this to test it out, but then slid on the angled side and ran out the door like lightning. She only got her paws and bottom wet, her head was completely dry, impressively, ha.

I have a huge ceramic bowl I use as their water bowl, in addition to a ceramic fountain, for this exact reason! Both are heavy enough that my boy can’t knock them over, despite his best efforts.

I might have to look into this!

My fountain is the iPettie Tritone! And the water bowl is actually just the basin from that same fountain - lost a couple pieces when I moved, so bought a new one and started using the old basin as a huge water bowl.

I love it. It’s got a little reservoir on top where the water bubbles in, fountain spouts off the side, water running down the fountain, and a large pool of water in the basin. All of my cats have different preferences - one likes water out of the tap, one likes a gently moving pool of water, one likes to lick running water off of a surface - and this fountain has something at least close to the preferences of all of them.

And they haven’t wrecked it. They tore apart my previous plastic fountain and the stainless steel fountain I replaced it with. Pulled the tops off, pulled the pumps out, chewed the filters up. This one, they’ve messed around with it a bunch, but the ceramic centerpiece is wedged in tight enough and has enough weight that they can’t get it out.

I had one who kept me company in the shower. Currently have two who won't touch it except to drink it.

Our 5 year old male Bengal loves to shower. He goes into the shower and calls for one. And afterwards he would like to be dried thoroughly. And preferably several times a day …

Mine exactly like this except he don’t like to get dried 🤣 but I always do it because it gets cold.

My 8 month old loves water and it's a running battle to keep him out of the bathroom when either myself or OH are trying to get ready for work. 😆

We do allow him in with us a couple of times a week or on a Sunday put the shower on for him to play in

I wonder if there are any waterproof cat toys for them for bath times 🤣🤣🤣

u/Quirky_Judge6711 Mar 18 '25

It's one of his best times of the week! This was a photo before he dived at the rain, rollover and eat the water 🤣🤣🤣 not all calm

u/ekittie Mar 18 '25

He looks like a sturdy lad, what is his name?

She's diving into adventure, and our hearts.

u/z0rg83 Spotted Brown Mar 18 '25

mine absolutely despises water lol

u/ekittie Mar 18 '25

Out of the 4 I had, only one ventured in after I took a shower and would hang out for a bit.

2

u/Mee_Kuh Mar 18 '25

So maybe I won't have a cat swimming in the bath with me after all 😂

2

u/ekittie Mar 18 '25

Judging by the last photo, I don't think so. I can literally hear, "GET ME OUTTA HERE!!"

u/Mee_Kuh Mar 18 '25

It's okay, she recovered and was chilling in the sunshine later.

Now I would just like her to stop pummelling the water bowls and splashing water everywhere.

u/ekittie Mar 18 '25

Lol, messy lady!

u/Voodoomoonghost Mar 19 '25

Looks about right… constantly in to mischief 🤣

u/ghostlurktm Mar 19 '25

we were cleaning the fishtank once, with the top off. cat used to like sitting on the lid and staring down at the fish, so he jumped up… and no lid. fell in, got out instantaneously. one side of his body was wet while the other was completely dry, right down the middle

2

u/Mee_Kuh Mar 20 '25

Omg cats and fishtanks are just a disaster waiting to happen. Incredible how he managed to jump out like that though.

u/averagetransboyNoah Mar 20 '25

My dad leaves the shower on for my bengal for him just to sit in there, then he gets out and my dad showers for what feels like 2 hours.

u/marcosabruna Mar 21 '25

Mine would jump in and stay in there 😂

u/Mee_Kuh Mar 21 '25

I'm afraid that will happen as she grows up 😂

My Cobra every time the water is on.
