Does your Maine Coon eat with his paw?
I have never seen a cat do this before, my red MC, Merlin likes to eat with his paw, out of his paw. I took a video of it
the purring you hear in the back ground is Louie, he has the loudest purr and never stops, the vet has to pinch him, this makes him stop purring long enough a few seconds, just long enough to be able to hear his heart. You see a glimpse of Louie at the end of this video

Lot of MCC eat with their paws, that's one of the reason the Raccoon cross got started.

Kota and Blue eat with their hands (er, paws) too (and Blue is not MC)! They could cause so much more trouble if they had opposable thumbs!

All mine eat with their paws and all drink with their paws...
The man who came yesterday to pick up Zeus watching in a amazement, when I gave Zeus a couple of small piece of chicken, and he put his paw in the bowl, hooked them up and ate them..
He said his own coon, which he sadly lost had never done it... I think Zeus is going to be the party piece for guests lol
Helen & John and deb's_boys like this.

Hector does not he prefers to use his paw to 'swat' daddy's helicopter out of the sky. You should hear the 'delicate' footsteps when it's turned on!! Roxy does normally when she is trying to share my takeaway she loves nan bread and I have the curry pawprint to prove it on a pair of jeans!!

Two of ours do. Our red boy Sunshine is the funniest though - he lounges on the floor and drags the bowl to him! He lies at the water bowl too!

Oh yes! Looks like almost the same video lol! Most of the time he flicks the kibble onto the floor but he does use his paw when he feels energetic:
He also drags the bowl towards him just like Sunshine!Last edited by Fozzie; 4th March 2012 at 02:38 PM. Reason: Spellings!
