Cat Fountain

Today I finally broke down and bought one.

For quite some time now I thought it would be a nice idea to have a recirculating source of water for the kittens. Up to now the problem was that the only one at the pet store was more than $50 and that seemed too steep a price to pay.

Today though we found one for almost half that, just a little more than the bulk waterers without recirculation and this seemed like a good time to stop growing algae in the cats water. That's the problem with the jug water thingys - can't get into the to clean them. So once somethin's growin' in there, you're pretty much SOL.

This one is a lot more aetheticly pleasing than the one I'd been looking at anyway, and I think it holds more water. The one complication is that for the little "dome" thing to work right the fountain must be totally level.

We also saw a really cute little kitten at the same store, but were able to restrain ourselves as our household already has more cats than people.

Now we just have to see if the cats will use it.
