And they are just sooooooooo cute! When I get home from work every
night my first pitstop is the bathroom (hour commute, at least!)
and all the cats gather in there with me. Rhett and Scarlett
usually follow each other in circles on the bathroom floor, batting
at each others tails. lol It's the funniest thing I've ever seen!
Not running chasing tails, just walking. In circles. Each batting
the others tail.

If they jump into the tub with you-- you've got Bengals. Don't
care who their parents were.

it too. It's a purrfect equilateral triangle. lol The only
reason I was curious if they could be Bengals is because I'm
not sure I'm up for them. I get scared reading about their
antics.

They do calm down quite a bit after they turn into adults.
However, they are too smart and curious for their own good and
will keep getting into trouble whenever they can.


That's what I hear. Rhett definitely fits that bill already, but then
again, he's a hoolikitten. lol We'll see after a few years. He's
amazingly smart.

Well, they jump in the shower with me! And they come running to the
bathroom when the shower water is turned off - Scarlett in
particular has an affixtion on the water that comes from the faucet
when I turn the water off, and she gets soaked sitting in the wet
tub when I'm done showering. I think once the weather warms up I'm
going to fill the tub and see what they do.

Heh..... Nina is a water kitten, too. =o) And although I firmly call
Francesca "A Tabby" her markings COULD make the non-expert wonder if
she is a marbled Bengal. Certainly, these girls are the most
water-friendly cats I've ever seen. Neither of these girls is a
purebred anything, I'm sure, but they are lovely, and marvelous
companions. I haven't invited either of them to jump in the shower with
me in case they end up not liking it. Being wet and naked with a cat
who is frightened and REALLY wants out is not my idea of fun. =o)

Both my cats loved the wet tub and the tap, but enough water to soak
in- well that's just wrong.

Well hide all clumping litter when you do. My sister's friend had her bengel
just a while when he jumped in the shower with her. However, he then ran
through the cat box and she had to quickly bathe him so that he didn't clump
into a big ball!

Rufous does that exact same thing!!!! He loves chasing the few drops
falling from the showerhead, he ends up soaked sometimes.

Victor Martinez had some very interesting things to
say about Maine Coon's M:

They do calm down quite a bit after they turn into adults. However, they
are too smart and curious for their own good and will keep getting into
trouble whenever they can.

The breed I'm really afraid of being owned by are Burmese. Based on
the Ollie Adventures and the exploits of Bonnie and Clyde, they're
very intelligent and permanent hoolikittens. :-)

Yup! It's weird then that our Tonkinese (who are half burmese and half
siamese) are so incredibly laid back!
