Whats sort of funny things does your Coonie get up to?

I've read that they're very 'goofy' just curious what things your Coonies do that makes you laugh!

not sure if you read in an earlier post I posted my youngest lissa, she pinches things from the neighbour! I have to go back and return them, I honestly don't know why she does it! she also used to suck one of her pads before settling down, it looked like she was sucking her thumb, bless! after she had her op (ladies bits) she stopped straight away, I miss her doing it though it was so cute! my other, kassie, she nibbles my toes in the morning if I dont answer to her finely tuned chirp first thing, for her breakfast!

Awee the sucking of the pads are soo cute! Shame shes stopped. Must have been a joy watching her. Ive read that coonies do tend to 'pinch' things from other people too, as Ive said, they have great personalities. See the more I hear things about them the more I cant wait to have our kitty home :D

It's so funny how they love to play with water! We have a Fresh Flow water fountain for them to drink from and we had to put it in the bathroom, cause else they would splash water all through the living room.
Willow likes to wash our hair and Indy is an alcohol addict. Whenever one of us drinks a glass of wine or baileys while watching tv or something, we have to watch our glass very carefully cause Indy usually tries to take a sip from the glass himself.

But apart from that, they're actually very sweet and nice. They're absolutely not as naughty as our Oriental Shorthair!

All mine like to stand in the water bowl splash the water out of the bowl then have a drink i spend more time mopping the floor.

One of my girls likes to sit on the side of the bath when i am in it, then stands on me and plays in the water, they are water mad !! .

hi coonie girl, I have to agree lol mine are water mad too! its right what the books, say a running tap sends them completely dopey! one of mine, puts her paw in the water bowl and then rubs her paw down my dishwasher! I always say its lissa doing her house work! and like you I spend a lot of time clearing up puddles! although the side of my dishwasher is very clean lol

Last night I was drinking a glass of water while watching tv and suddenly, Indy jumped on the couch and just put his paw into my glass
Yep, they definately are water mad!:D

I was watching some YouTube videos of Maine Coon Cats last night and I think one of the cutest things that they do is when they use their paws to drink water. Lol. I just couldnt stop 'awwweing'. Lol.

I still cant get over the way Hank drinks his water by 'scraping' the top (so that the water goes EVERYWHERE!) and then putting both of his paws in the bowl while drinking. Then after he then drinks from his paw. The floor is always 'flooded' after. I know it seems funny now but I hope he finds a way to do it more elegantly as he grows older! Haha so cute tho!

Winston seems to have a knack for discovering all the fluff that my hoover did not sunction up. It's great fun watching him batting "fluff" around the place. He's been ratherr good with his water bowl so we have not seen much "waterplay" yet.
I always get a laugh when he crawls under the space of the sofa "to hide" but we always spot him as his bum and tail sticks out
He also seems to love "boxing" and trying to get my husband's attention by boxing him with his paw !
