This thread has been interesting to me because I don't have a fountain.

Rascal gets filtered water from the fridge - and he just loves cold water and ice cubes. He gets a new, fresh bowl every day.

But having a fountain would be great - have to find a convenient outlet in my old house though.

I keep a small trash can and a plastic bag near his litter box. I have been using the Arm & Hammer Super Scoop - but he still makes a mess. I liked the "digging to China" comment. Yup, sounds too familiar. And is that stuff heavy!!

Thanks for the fountain comments everyone!
