Cat #3 is learning how to drink from the faucet tonight.

The other two are veterans. #3 has never done it, total magic, total hysterics. I may be up for hours.

God bless cats.

1. We got our cats a fountain from a company called CatIt.

They make some pretty cool products, and seem to have figured out what cats really like.

We unplug the fountain when we are going to be out of the house for a while. One cat loves the fountain so much that he has figured out how to pull the top off so he can drink from the receptacle part even when the fountain is not turned on. He prefers that to the water bowl, even when it's off.

2. My cats never dug the fountain

But the love the dog’s water bowl

3. My dad bought one of my cats a fountain 20 years ago. The cat was afraid of the noise it made.

Never bought an expensive cat contraption since with the exception of the cat condo.

4. My tabby would only drink from the bathroom faucet for two years

And I have no idea why. She would perch on the edge of the sink and drink upside down. Sometimes sneezing or snuffing if it got in her nose.

She still does that but will also drink from my glass of water. Not interested in a bowl or cup of her own.

5. my cat now moves the bowl

He pushes it all over the room, with water mess of course. It's a new thing. They say it has to do with not being able to see the water but this does not seem like a solution. Oh well, I have placed towels around the water bowl now. I think he prefers the faucet too.
