Cats are more likely to drink if they have running water - I got one of those fountain thingys and it is true they all drink more as a result.

I've been looking @ those but they are quite expensive so I am still looking. Are they easy to clean, RC?

One of my friends bought her cat a fountain and he loooves it. I must get one for Blossy.

I was really skeptical about the idea - but mine seem fascinated by the dribbling water. They rarely drink from the bowl - they lap it up as it comes out of the fountainy thing.
I also thought they (and I) wouldn't like the noise - but that seems fine too.
The other thing I like is that it has a reservoir and keeps the water clean longer - I only wash it out once a week and give it a deep clean every couple of months.

It is more of a palaver to clean than simply rinsing out a bowl that is for sure. But I find it worth it because I don't have to do it so often.
There are lots of different designs - mine is not very attractive to look at but has a nice big reservoir.
I don't recall it being very expensive but mine is now ancient so I may not remember - must be about 8 years old because I got it for the last generation of cats who were on their last legs.

That's helpful. Thanks.

I'd love to see a photo of it, if you don't mind and have time.

Someone has been laying fairy eggs.
I suspect Titania who very rarely lays @ all & always lays tiny, tiny eggs.

It's not much bigger than a 5c piece & not as large as a 10. ​

My goodness, that is little! You can’t appreciate how small it is from the first photo!

It's really hard even with something to compare it to. It's only as long as the bottom joint of a finger & only that wide.
