Cats
Hi cats and kittens, we are in a bit of a funk here today because our Drinkwell fountain broke, the motor won't pump the water through anymore. It was working fine but after the last cleaning it stopped. We're not talking about the snazzy new stainless 360° fountain that mum wrote about here but our old work-a-day plastic fountain which we've had forever and was up inArchie's room one of the guest bedrooms.
Mum knows that we like to have a selection of waters, still and sparkling just like in the restaurants. So, we have three waters bowls and one fountain upstairs, one fountain in the kitchen (the dog bowl is in the kitchen too but even in a pinch I can't imagine any self respecting cat stooping to such depths) and one water-cooler type bowl in the basement rec room. We like the fountains the best but you see when we're upstairs we don't want to have to walk all the way downstairs for a drink form the kitchen fountain. We're cats, we're lazy...as an example, we have FIVE litter boxes but we only really use the two which we feel are the most convenient, this drives mum crazy (hee, hee).
We've written to Santa and we are hoping he brings us a new fountain for Christmas that we can have upstairs...I think we have been very good this year so keep your fingers crossed everyone :-)
