Well, I ran out and bought this at Petsmart. Always looking for ways to get my boys to drink lots of water! Not sure they really love it yet, but Buddy was hysterical to watch when he first found it. After one full day, I haven't had to add any water. My question is, for those of you who are using the FreshFlow fountain: do you leave it on all the time? When I finally got down to reading all the directions, it said not to leave it on unless "under direct supervision". That's not practical for me because where I have it plugged in is behind the refrigerator and not easy to get to. One real plus is that the cord is well hidden from Mike who loves to eat cords (coaxial is his best favorite!). I'm thinking of just leaving it on and keep a good eye on the water level. Any suggestions or warnings?

I leave my cats' fountain on all the time. I cleaned mine this past week and it seems that it is about time for a new filter. I think, since a new PETCO just opened in town, I will purchase a system with a spare tank.

My cats still drink from it. They don't look at it as Niagara Falls anymore. It has become a drinking facility now.

A very good, cat loving friend actually sent a Drinkwell Fountain, with the extra reservoir to me for a wedding gift. How about that? Butter and Mimi think they have died and gone to Heaven...no more drinking out of the dog's bowl!!!

gabe is a beauty indeed! I don't know about these fountains for Ritzy - she constantly throws those little fake mousies in her water, I think I'd have the equivalent of a clogged kitty commode spewing water all over the kitchen linoleum.

We also had to "nail down" her regular water dish because she liked to pick it up with her teeth and turn it over (It didn't seem to matter how heavy the dish was)...never does this with her food dish, and it is the same kind of dish..

Maybe she just likes to play in puddles....

Glad to see some more stories about our favorite Ritzy.

She's such a character.

Dear Ritzy...

My mom is soooo.... jealous. She says this consulting bizness is something she would REALLY like to do but she says she is missing a critical part. I said if I remember correctly the vet has a whole lot of those parts laying around but she says it is not the same thing exactly. Sounds like something I don't understand...but I do understand she says....CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Mommy has a number of customers already and she hasn't really advertised yet, so I think that's good, cuz mom seems a lot happier lately.....I just get brushed more often, so it seems pretty kool to me too

rITZEEE CAT, cfo (chief feline officer)

Ritzy's mom here - thanks to all! I'm at a good point in my life to make this jump, and it's something I've always wanted to do..not too much financial risk for me right now, no kids to put through college (don't give Ritzy any ideas, please)

I'm nervous, but so far, so good! I am having a lot of fun, but am maintaining a reasonable perspective - giving it at least a year and have some "backup plans" just in case. Thanks again for the kind wishes!
