You wouldn’t be wrong if you think Cincinnati is a city in Ohio. However, it is also the name of an elderly tiger in Wylie, Texas, who has become an internet sensation. In the video, Cincinnati the tiger is relaxing in a bath. People have found the video so calming they have shared it almost 600,000 times! It has received over 6.2 million likes in just four days.

The 18-year-old big cat is a resident mischief-maker at In-Sync Exotics. The Texas sanctuary spoils exotic large cats that they rescue from mistreatment and neglect. The Bengal tiger is appropriately named, at least if you’re an NFL fan (Cincinnati is home to the Bengals).
Cincinnati’s life of leisure at In-Sync Exotics began in 2014. He was rescued with 12 other big cats from a bare concrete existence in Van, Texas. He had a mate, Serena, who sadly passed away unexpectedly in 2018. In-Sync staff helped Cincinnati overcome his grief with interactive toys and an enriching enclosure.

Staff describe Cincinnati as “a very curious, out-going, and playful boy.” He was the first cat from the Van facility to explore the new playground and pool at In-Sync. He loves toys and playing and occasionally gets the zoomies.
If you want to learn about In-Sync Exotics, you can visit the sanctuary in Texas. You can sponsor one of the big cats through the non-profit’s adoption program. Please keep track of what animals and staff are doing by following their social media posts on Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

If you’re in a lousy mood and life gets you down… have a relaxing bath!
