Your cats are gorgeous!

Only my orange boy Meeshe shows any tactile interest in water. Before he drinks, he will ever-so-lightly touch his paw pads to the surface of his water dish . . . maybe he wants to be sure there actually IS some water in the bowl, or could be he is checking the temperature of it??!

I'd like to buy one of the fountains but wonder if any run on batteries instead of electric since I don't have an outlet nearby where the water would be.
