Thread: Drinking From The Toilet...Uh...Not Me, The Cat

I got her this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pet-Mate-060...s=fountain+cat about a year ago.... but she wasn't really impressed at the time - she sniffed it carefully before concluding that this one one of those humanz things holding no interest whatsoever - now that she's learned that drinking from the tap is really interesting (apparently...) we might reinstal the thing.

very cool!!! $35 US I have added it to my Amazon wish wist

Good luck everyone with the fountains.......
Several of our MC's loved drinking from a running tap,one even used to be able to turn taps on until we changed them so thought we would buy a fountain,the first one was a drinkwell ,they loved it,water chilled & flowing & we had it for a few years until the day finally came when the servant got fed up mopping the floor where they sat & swiped their paws through it flooding everywhere,it was a daily battle mopping the floor would just get it dry from one when another had a go & wet paw prints on clean bedding & across places where they shouldn't go finally tipped the balance so back to water bowls,which in turn got paddled in & tipped over then saw the catit fountain,brilliant water came down over a dome into a bowl & although they put their paw on the dome they didn't splash it all over so much so peace reigned amoung furries & mum until two certain brothers joined the household & one of them discovered the joys of laying with two front paws locked firmly around the dome to drink, of course when he moved away there was a soaking dripping bib trailing everywhere,guess what,we are now back to heavy drinking bowls again...... !!!!

My Teddy drinks from the loo ! Not because I like him to, he has just figured every lock out that I have put on it !!! lol And to be honest I have tried a few but he is so strong he just breaks them, so I thought lets go to the major problem the loo door, so I put on an oldfashioned cast iron latch, thought that will sort you out...............nope..............so lets put a gate up at the door, you know one of those tall baby gates,............omg he pulled it of the blooming door frame,...............not a happy mummy that day for sure !! lol he does weigh in at seventeen and a half stone so when he wants something he usually gets there !!! lmao I still put water out for him but he completely ignores it !!! lol Drinking from the wash hand basin tap is also his other source of water !

From reading all your posts I think I will opt for the heavy drinking bowl for Dylan when he arrives !!! lol
