Are Bengal cats good swimmers?

Yes, Bengal cats are known to be good swimmers! �

Unlike many other domestic cat breeds that tend to avoid water, Bengals often enjoy it.^{This trait likely comes from their ancestry, as they are a hybrid breed with Asian Leopard Cats in their lineage. These wild cats are known to swim and fish in their natural habitat. �}

While not all Bengals will automatically be Olympic-level swimmers, many of them will naturally take to the water and enjoy a good splash. Some may even join you in the shower or try to “fish” in your bathtub!^�

If you have a Bengal and are interested in exploring their swimming abilities, it’s always a good idea to introduce them to water gradually and under supervision to ensure their safety and comfort.

Stay healthy and keep those furry friends happy!
