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

Ouch

What beautiful colourings

Four shredded wheat, I am impressed ! I can also share this experience with you, Harry couldn't wait for me to prepare his breakfast so decided to jump onto my dressing gown and crawl his way up to my shoulder to jump on the work unit ! Luckily it's a fleece type gown and very thick, I hope by the summer when the cotton one comes out of the cupboard he will be too big to attempt it :(

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!

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
