kitty fountain

shreddy has finally braved the kitty fountain. He spent several days getting closer and closer and carefully inspecting. Now, he seems to like drinking out of it.

I really need to get one of those. Elect-Ra can't drink out of a bowl like a normal cat (she's of the dip-paw-then-lick variety) but she likes to drink out of the sink. Lately she will only drink water if it's in a bowl on my bedside table. Maybe a fountain will keep her more hydrated.

I've seen a number of cats do the dip-paw thing. Why can't she drink out of a bowl the normal way?

Oh - I think it's either a question of intelligence or coordination... or that she never learned how. I'm not sure she understands the logistics of water-bowl drinking. She tends to dip her mouth too low and then breathe in and then she coughs and sneezes and it's kinda amusing, kinda sad. :)

I see.

When we first got shreddy, he did that in swestrup's water and then snorted the water back out his nose. Ewwwww, but funny.
