Wayne- I know what you mean about the water dish being 'dirty' I find lots of things in his dish: toys, paper wads, dirt, cat litter. One of his favorite things is to put his cat food in his water- what a mess!
I finally ended-up having to put his water dish INSIDE a large plastic dishpan because he was always splashing around in the water so much that he emptied it and the floor was always wet.


Marius mom- I was just looking at those at Petsmart the other day, and wondering if I could get my cats to learn to use it. I have a 7 yr. old and a 11 month old kitten. What a great thing if they could- No matter how clean I keep the cat box, there is that smell (not to mention mess).
