Jasper is finicky...aren't they all?? He def prefers fresh water and seems to know when I fill my glass...within minutes his head is pushed inside "sharing" with mommy! My husband and son tend to drink out of a cup with a lid, so that there is a "jasper-deterrant" between their mouth and his....chickens!

I have a fountain for him because he really likes to drink from the faucet, but I can't stand to waste that much water. the vet told me to switch to stainless steel bowls because he was getting kitty acne on his chin. He will drink from the bowl for about an hour once it is filled, then he reverts to the fountain and the moving water! Guess the acne doesn't bother him much.

I keep Nutro Naturals dry food out for him all the time because he tends to graze. He is always a normal weight, so he isn't a glutton...wish I could listen to those signals so well!
