It is a pretty well known that Bengals are “fond” of water, or will at least tolerate it. There’s stories all over about people’s Bengals jumping in the shower with their owners, or playing in their water bowls.

And then there’s Sammie… not too fond of playing in her water bowl, and I don’t think she’s quite figured out what we humans are doing in the shower. But when it comes to bath time, she does NOT behave like a cat!

That’s right, Sammie tolerates taking a bath, just like a good Bengal would be expected to. No body armor needed, no scratching, or hissing, or fearing for my life. Once she’s in she just takes it for what it’s for. It’s after she gets out that she gets a little angry, mostly because she’ll have to spend the next 6 hours arranging her furs how she sees fit.

We use Hertz hairball shampoo on her, and scrunch her all up. I am sad I don’t have pictures of a soapy kitty I will have to get some in the future. Sammie gets a bath at least once a month, or perhaps a bit for often for entertainment purposes. Baths keep her nice and fluffy!
