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

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!
