Scooter is the only bengal who doesn't throw a tantrum when I put him in the water! I've been using the hall bathroom since hubby sleeps during the day. The other day, I picked Scooter up, and got him wet with on his back end (tail, toes), and it didn't even phase him! He just looked around, calm as can be. Today, he got a full shower (no ears or face), and he was very good! The only time he meowed was when he wanted down, but other than that, no claw marks or anything. He smells nice, now.
