Maine Coons are known to have an affinity for water. My girl used to play "Spin the Water Bowl and Centrifugal Force be Damned". She would splash her giant 2.5" paws in the water bowl, spin it, etc., dowsing the floor with water. I designed a very simple but elegant bowl holder wrought of solid oak to hold the food and water bowls 3" above the floor. Makes it easier for her and Zizu to eat and totally prevents games with the water bowl.
My "security chief" is little Zizu, my DSH rescue. EVERYTHING must be under her supervision and she uses those clever little paws to open shutters on the window, open bags, open doors, and tease the Maine Coon. The Coon has taken to napping in the covered bed, her travel case, the little house on the cat condo tower, etc. to prevent Zizu from pouncing on her as prey. It's hilarious to see 8 lb. Zizu trying to tease a Coon twice her size!
Our son had a wonderful cat, either Maine Coon or Norwegian something. Boris could open doors and turn on water faucets. Of course he never turned them off and we would come home and find water running. After loosing two small russian blues to owls I got a desert lynx hybrid.... big cat, short hair, stupidest cat I’ve ever had but I do love him. He has a short tail which means he has poor balance and he knows it so although he goes out during the day he’s always home by 7 p.m. He knows he’s clumsy and stupid.
