Yep, I had a Maine Coon, and he loved to drink out of the bathroom sink. He would sometimes drink out of this bowl. He also chirped, but that was mostly when he would spot a bird right outside the window and was quite excited. I've read that Maine Coons are the most "dog-like" of any cat. When my daughter was in high school, he would know when her curfew approached, and would go and sit by the front door and wait for her.
