Here's to your (cat's) health


Just when you think your pet has it all: Here comes the pet drinking fountain.
Among its benefits:
--Keeps water circulating
--Charcoal filter absorbs tastes and odors
--Adjustable flow control for gentle cascade
--6-cup water capacity, expandable to 12 cups
Says the Web site:
This veterinarian-designed Drinkwell pet drinking fountain continuously circulates and filters your pet's water, making it more appealing than standing bowl water. The flowing action breaks the surface tension of the bowl water to draw in oxygen from the air and aerate the water, keeping it fresher-tasting. Fresher-tasting water encourages water intake and proper hydration, which helps maintain a pet's health. If you have a cat that likes to jump on counters in search of dripping faucets, this fountain can help stop counter-jumping by satisfying the cat's need for running water.
Bisquick just told me he wants one.
There are similar models for dogs, too. Arf.

sounds good and all, but i wonder if the constant sound of trickling water will make them want to pee all the time, though.

i'd love to have one. i'd swat the water all over the kitchen...it'd be like playing in the hose outside.
