Thanks! I just emailed Susan for clarification.

Chickee....Now that I reread your post, I'm thinking maybe yours are different than mine.

I have the Little Giant Fount like this one:



And I'm thinking you may nean you have these:

I have the little giant fount like you have. It does freeze here in the winter and I have to shut them off. One day I will have a chicken barn with the water lines inside

I was thinking about getting the little cup type like you have pictured for my Bengal cat. He will not stop playing in his water dish and gets water all over the place!

It would be nice to be able to use auto-waterers. I have 3 gallon waterers inside my coops since I shut them up at night. During the winter they freeze inside, I don't think the nipples would last up here. I use a hose attached to the hot water heater quite often in the winter.

Sorry, I have heard those cats love water. They will even go for a swim... Perhaps a bath mat under the water dish would absorb the spills... and a deeper dish with less water will slow down the deluge?

Did you ever see the videotape one where the cat had learned to flush the basement toilet and run the owner's water bill through the roof? They finally figured out where the "leak" was - and they video taped the cat. It would reach up and flush the toilet - then try and catch the water as it circled around the bowl. When it stopped the cat would do it again - all day long. Hopefully your boy doesn't learn that trick....

My parents had a cat that would only drink running water, they put an indoor fountain down for her. Better than leaving a trickle running in the sink.

Ours runs in and out of the shower when we are in it, and she sleeps in the sink occasionally.

I would love one for my Golden Retriever...but I think that one might be a bit small....

Hmmm...the email came back as "Undeliverable"

*Checks drive time to Stockton*

Ah, 7 hours 9 minutes. Nope, not going *pouts* My husband thinks going 2 hours to Eureka for chickens in February's a bit strange.

Yeah....it's hard for me to justify more than 2 hours......

Tried all those things. Besides putting his paws in the water he drags the dish around, THEN he runs into his litter box and his wet feet pick up the clay from the litter (changed that to wheat litter) and leaves white kitty tracks all over the counters and furniture! If anyone is thinking about getting a Bengal cat read up first. They warn that they are very active and naughty!

We love ours!

That is hilarious about the cat flushing the toilet! Mine would probably learn to do that too if they had access to the toilet water. We have to keep the lid down on the toilets because both of our Bengals play in the water. When we flush the toilet they will come running to watch the water go down, then get all excited and go racing through the house! Makes us laugh every time!
