The Fountain

Frederika's obsession with drinking from the tap has been especially draining for me the past couple of weeks. I don't know why, but she has really stepped up her efforts to get her face under a faucet lately, and it drives me nuts...mainly because a simple trip to the kitchen sink or the bathroom has become a race for me. I find myself running into the bathroom and shutting the door quickly behind me before Freddie gets there...and feeling a sense of victory over having beat her to it...I know, it's sad, but that's my life with this cat.

Here's a couple of shots of her in the bathroom--she gets to drink before I wash my hands...




So, I have to pick my battles...and I have decided to buy one of those water fountain drink bowls for the cats. I think I will be getting one from a company called Veterinary Ventures, Inc. They make a really popular model called the Drinkwell Original Pet Fountain and I have read good things about it...I hope this will appease the thirsty cat.

Good luck with that - my cats won't drink from the (expensive) fountain! In typical contrary cat fashion,they snub it completely. Since it was purchased just for them, it therefore isn't naughty enough to be appealing.
Interesting coincindence: I also went to the Petsmart adoption for 1 kitten, & came home w/two, also sisters, also black & white, one with a white nose & 1 with a black nose, exactly like yours!
Awaiting the next installment of you vs. Freddie...
