Maine Coons and Water!

The Maine Coon is one of the cat breeds that actually love water. They like playing with the water in the water bowl, they love lying in the shower when it is still wet and they like to rub their head on your legs after you come out of the shower. A lot of Maine Coon cats actually like to swim as well. Besides their appearance, this is another reason why the Maine Coon is called Maine Coon. Because they like water like raccoons and look similar when playing with it.
Perhaps this cat breed's fearlessness of water is due to the quality of their thick coats, which are partially water repellent. 

Water Bowls...
Our coons are known to make huge messes with their water bowls.  I have some that will dig like crazy in them.  We use the Neater Feeder to help with the water spills and splashes.  I also put down a mat underneath as well.  ​
