Eevee has many strange behaviors. She is fascinated with water and believes she is entitled to drink from any source she chooses, which includes the glass of water that I (was) drinking from. On occasion she drinks out of the toilet, too. I have found her in the middle of the night sitting on my dresser, trying to figure out how to get the last sips of water out of a tall glass. My research shows that she has some of the trademark features of Maine Coons - loves water, medium to long hair, the "M" on her forehead, extremely long whiskers and ears, and a gigantic tail (it's over a foot long!). Currently she only weighs 5.5 pounds, but Maine Coons are known to continue growing for three to four years, so I have no idea how big she'll wind up being. She still gets a little bit of shrimp each day, a suggestion my mom had when she was underweight and we wanted something healthy to feed her to help her bulk up. It has become a routine each evening and she knows the word "shrimp" so she'll come running to the kitchen if she hears it.
She likes to sleep inside a fabric grocery bag that I have now equipped with blankets, and I walk Eevee outside on a harness because she loves to be outdoors. We go out and she eats grass, plays with bugs, and generally acts like a dog. She is very territorial… when she's by herself she is perfectly fine and affectionate, but when introduced to other cats -- friendly cats, may I add -- she growls, hisses, and generally causes havoc. The only cat she wants to befriend is my landlord's outdoor cat which always ends with Eevee being the one getting hissed at!
