‘If not a pet, then why pet-shaped’- was the reaction that most netizens dropped after an adorable clip of a tiger enjoying its bath time was shared on social
media. The tiger- named Cincinnati- was allegedly a rescue from a ‘neglectful facility in Texas’. The big cat arrived in In-Sync Exotics in 2014 after being removed from its previous enclosure. The clip showed Cincinnati sitting in a bathtub- quite calmly, one might say- watching directly towards the camera- with eyes that looked too innocent to belong to one of the most deadly predators in the world. As per the viral post, the furry one was kept in questionable conditions, resulting in it getting ‘dangerously underweight’ over time. However, after arriving at the new facility, not only did its personality significantly improve, but the tiger also began to gain healthy weight. The bathtub video in question was from 2024, however, it's going viral again. As per the post, Cincinnati loves bathing- and apparently looks cute while at it! The video began to draw multiple reactions. Most loved the animal, while some dubbed it the ‘pookiest’. Times Now could not confirm the authenticity of the post.

Watch the viral video:
“Cincinnati was a rescued male tiger who arrived at In-Sync Exotics in 2014 after being removed from a neglectful facility in Texas, where he had been kept in barren conditions and was dangerously underweight. Weighing just 236 pounds, he was timid and fragile at first, but with patient care, proper nutrition, and a safe, loving environment, he made a remarkable recovery. Over time, his playful, goofy personality began to shine—he especially loved taking baths and playing with his toys. In 2024, a video of him soaking peacefully went viral, capturing hearts around the world. Cincinnati’s journey is a beautiful reminder of the healing power of compassion,” the post read.
The clip was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘beyond_the_wildlife’. The post was shared a few days back and pulled more than 346K views from people.
