I have heard all bengals love water, is this true?
In short, NO, not ALL bengals love water. For early generation bengals, most of them love water because asian leopard cats fish and hunt in water and they also deficate and urinate in running water, so EG’s tend to take after the Asian Leopard cat. However, some SBT bengals tend to be more like that of a domestic cat. Many SBT bengals do have a curiousity when it comes to water, but won’t actually play in water. Many of them like to play in water with just the paws and make a mess with water dishes. I can hardly keep water dishes filled when litters come around because kittens like to swat all of the water out of them onto the floor. Some of them actually will get into water or go out of their way to walk through puddles of water, play in tubs and toilets. I have noticed that if kittens are bathed from an early age, they tend to be more fascinated with water then ones that are not. It all depends on the individual cat.
