Do Bengals Like Water?
Most do. Most prefer to drink running fresh water (as in from a faucet or a water fountain) although they have no problem with drinking from bowls either. Many will play with the water in their water bowls…some will stroke their paw across the surface as if to clear the surface of debris, some will dip their paw in and then lift it up out of the bowl and lap up the water that runs off their paw, and some like to literally splash in it. (The picture shows Bridlewood Zelazny of PrinceRoyal fishing for a toy in a large bowl of water…which he dropped the toy into, of course, so he could then have the fun of fishing it out.) Some bengals enjoy getting in the shower or tub with their people during bath time, and many enjoy splashing around after toys in, for instance, a child’s inflatable swimming pool. Some bengals will actually swim in full-sized pools for fun—see the teriffic pictures of one of our “grandchildren” swimming for recreation. Q: How large do Bengals get? A: The average
