10. Bengals Love Water

Like their ancestors the Asian Leopard, Bengals love water. Many Bengals develop an obsession with water, which can lead to disruptive behavior.

Unlike most domestic cats, Bengals like to drink by dipping a paw into the water and licking it off rather than from their water bowl. But rather than using their own water to dip a paw into a Bengal might choose your cup, the fish tank or even the toilet instead. Some Bengals learn to turn on faucets to run through the water as a game, others have woken up their owners in the night by repeatedly flushing the toilet. Because of their hunting instincts and love for water, people with an aquarium will need to cat-proof it from curious Bengals looking for a fish snack.
