Hmm my two cats are not really interested not even my Savannah kitten. I let them taste the water but they ran way from it.

I suspect your Savannah will have a slightly different approach to the tank in the near future. ;Hilarious Is this an F1 or F2? Ooops never mind I see your sig. The breeder I got my bengals from has a Serval. I think you'll have your hands full at the 8-10 month mark hehe.

haha, Yes probably. But i hope to teach em away from it. If not he will just have a bath, baha. I dont think he is able to fish them out.

Cats with wild blood (I don't want to say difficult) a slightly different personality. I've had my fair share of domestic cats and they were always easy to care for. In comparison, it's not that they are difficult but stubborn. you can't just place a bowl of dry kibble to feed throughout the day. It's a systematic approach of separate feedings or wet or raw foods. With that comes demand for food. Or demand for attention. Demand for a clean litter box. They are a roommate from heck that can't help themselves. So, I have to treat my cats as I would a disabled person. If you ignore them, its a fight. If you don't tend to them, its a fight. And they will always try to undermine you. I don't know if any of that makes any sense but I think later on you'll understand. When my cats were younger and as they were getting older, they would try to...mess with me. Whether it was frighten me, attack me from around the corner, or take things(like my test kits, pipetts, syringes, etc). One thing I found that helps is to spook them every so often and tease them. They seem to learn from things that bothers them. Sort of like me making them feel how they made me feel. That is what has helped the most and talking to them. As crazy as it sounds.
