What is it with Bengal cats and sinks?
June 8th, 2006
This is Nala, a bengal cat with a deep and abiding passion for water. Bengal owners around the world will recognise the symptoms, an obsession with sinks, taps and baths and an uncanny ability to turn on taps! I can certainly sympathise, it seems that every 10 minutes our snow bengal Ming is in the sink busily trying to turn on the tap and help himself. This is despite the expensive cat fountains we have all around the house especially for water loving cats! But ff course it’s much more fun to help yourself.
Nala spends a lot of her time in the sink and she makes such a pretty picture looking up with her big gold eyes and surrounded by the reflections in the steel.
Nala in the sink is painted in acrylics on watercolour paper. Click the image to see a close up detail of the painting.

As one “Bengal slave” to all the others — The question is not how to get them IN the sink — but How to keep them OUT of it!
LOVELY painting, as always, Denise! I’m sure even Nala is proud of this rendition of her beauty!

Nala is my little terror. Not only does she love the sink, she’s also managed to lock the bath plug, turn on the taps and twice nearly flooded the house. Despite her mischievous streak, she is a wonderful cat and Denise has captured her character perfectly
