.....is addicted to baths now.

She's showing in 2 days, so she got her show bath tonight (2nd one in a week). She purred so loud the whole time, I was pretty much caught off guard. She didn't want to get out of the tub.


Of course I know how much bengals can love water, but this is ridiculous.....I'm putting shampoo on her and she's head butting me.

I guess I learned something about my cats over the last couple of weeks about this whole bath thing, that I was against at first.

Improvement in coat quality or not, my cats seem to get a big kick out of the whole bathing experience, rather than just playing in the sink.

My thanks to the people that encouraged me to try it! (you know who you are!)

I just got done giving Charlie his bath - he's in the library drying
He's not as loving of a bath as your guys are, but he LOVES to jump in the dry tub with a tennis ball and chase or lay there attacking the ball.

I have to get the camera out and take a few shots of that

BTW - showed DH your website - he wants to know HOW big are those cats! What's the average size (weight) for males and for females? Have you ever measured them from nose to tail?

The cats do give us a lot to think about don't they???


Well, Nial, looks like you've come over to the "DARK SIDE"!

I've not measured them nose to tail, but I will, just to find out.

Average weight for bengal males is 10 to 18 lbs. Jack's sire is 24 pounds...unusual for a bengal.
The females are considerably smaller. Usually 6 to 10 lbs.
