    That is very typical behaviour for Maine Coons. Our adults still do it, and little Esme does it as well.

    Ours plays a game we have called 'Boo' basically hide and seek through the stairs banisters

    She has also gone mad for another game called 'Bubbles' (she seems to recognise the words/tones as when we say bubbles she starts looking for the bubbles) Asda do some party blowing bubbles in little test tubes, they shoot out in the hundreds and burst very fast- when we get the bubbles out she chirps and chases/watches the bubbles

    She also sits on the bath when I am in shower just watching water flowing away- it's just a matter of time before she gets in whilst it's on, she fell in the bath the other day whilst it was pouring

    When I am making my bead necklaces she can be a pain in the bum and wants whatever I am working on, I try to give her a big bead to go off and play with but she loses interest and wants the ones I am trying to use!

    We find the most odd stuff on the floor- I'd never ever buy a toy as she is amused by extremely boring household stuff, her new favourite is cellotape rolls and she was nicking the bows off presents at Xmas time.

    I forgot she also puts her paw in the water, but just once then drinks, looks like she is seeing how much is in there- so we always thought anyway

    Do any of yours 'guard' the doors?
    She usually sits at top of stairs or in the door ways as if she is guarding

    Haha. Hank also loves to do the 'Boo' thing too. Sometimes, Im scared that one of these days he's going to swipe me on the head while Im going upstairs!

    He also loves climbing up the vertical blinds, though Im really trying to discourage him he's not listening to me, so I think I'm just going to give up. And yes, he has a thing for cellotape too, carrier bags (though I have to be really careful with them) so I give him empty sweet packets instead.

    He also had fun in the shower today, watching it drip and playing with the water, and getting soaked!

    I love reading the funny things they get up, such charachters! I them!

    Our 6mos old kitten has gotten so that if we open the cat food cabinet, he gets into it and tries to grab one of the treat bags. If he gets one, he runs off with it. Then this morning I found him in the living room with the World's Best litter bag that I had put in the trash last night (a fairly large bag). Actually I had emptied it into a litter pan last night because I found he had chewed on it during the day yesterday and there was litter all over my closet (the litter is corn based and safe to eat!). The treat bags he grabs to try to get the treats out of. I think he chewed on the litter bag because he has been teething again (his top canines have been coming in).

    Storvenn attempts to eat the black bin bag in the kitchen bin. We've had to tuck it inside the bin now!

    Beau Kitty is an employee in my home. His job is Mommy Waker-Upper. The second he hears the alarm clock at 5:00AM when I have to wake up for work, he jumps on the bed and pesters me until I get up. He'll put his paws in my face, knead me with his big ol' hands, lick my face, or if I am being extremely lazy, he gets fed up and bites me (gently, of course - he's no meany)! I'd never wake up without my baby to help me! And on weekends when the alarm doesn't go off, he knows to leave Mommy alone.

    Beau also loves the bathtub/shower. Whenever there is water running, he's right there waiting! He won't drink out of a plain water dish and he hasn't as long as I've had him. He has a Drinkwell fountain that he loves!

    Finally, Beau loves watching golf and football (NFL) on t.v.! He'll actually sit and watch it! Then he dozes off like a little old man.

    Well...
    I came home last night to find my electronic drum kit cables, 2 of them completely chewed through! Guess that says something about their appreciation for my drumming skills

    Not expensive, just a quick trip to amazon to replace them. The remaining cables are hidden now

    Seems that my MC Marquis is quite normal...
    He too loves water, his favorite thing is to push his water bowl around and make the water spill over..for some strange reason it seems to fascinate him..
    The result?..I put water in the bowl, Marquis makes sure it get out again.

    I also have an aquarium and he spends much time starring at the fish, no doubt contemplating how to get to those tasty looking morsels

    I was eating my four shredded wheat in a bowl, walking around finding stuff ready for work.
    Loki decided that whatever was in my bowl was worth investigating so ran UP my leg, chest and onto my shoulders. Amazing how much grip a set of claws will give em...
    I got my son to take a photo as he thought it was hilarious
