ARE BENGAL CATS AFRAID OF WATER?
Very quick answer, no. Unlike most of their domestic cousins who seem to think the world has ended when they get wet, Bengal cats seem to have an extreme fascination with water. It actually seems like it might be one of their favorite things to do, play with water, no matter where the water is. They love water so much that it’s always a good idea to keep their water bowl as far from their food bowl as possible or you might come in one day seeing your Bengal cat deliberately dropping dry food into the water just so they can bat it around with it’s paw or just sit there watching the food float around as it swells up with water.

You might notice if you leave the water running in the sink that your Bengal cat might be drawn to it so that they can get in on the action and have a little fun with the water by batting at it, letting the water run over their paw and then lapping it up. It’s amazing just how much fun a Bengal cat can receive from a steady stream of faucet water.
Whether it’s their water dish, a kitchen sink, toilet, shower or bathtub, if there’s water in it the Bengal cat is going to do their best to make it all a fun game. It’s amazing just how unafraid of water Bengal cats are and how entertaining it can be for you, their owner, to sit back and watch how they playfully and joyfully interact with water.
