Gabe's latest friend ?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh, and by the way, maybe Gabe thinks the water fountain is one of those gadgets that has the different soothing sounds (crickets, waves crashing, bubbling brook, etc). Maybe he's relaxing and letting his stress wash away.

He sure is a cutey!

My girlfriend has one of those fountains for her cat Snotty Susie. We always laugh at it and say that the cat drinks better water then we do.

Hi Lut, I Like that fountain too! But I don't know it will work for me as the electrical voltage in the USA is 110V and we have a 220V. in Spain.What's the voltage in Belgium?.
For the plug there's no problem you can easily find a conveter in a shop supplies for traveller's or in a hardware warehouse.

Sometime before buying for my furkids I check at Petco. or Petsmart. and the goods are the same and the price are similar thought in the USA there's more choice,I'm pretty sure it will arrive here too!

Anyway there's a link
http://www.petsmart.com/products/product_27291.shtml and you can check what it cost to send it overseas.

debbie - diane is living in mundelein. the reason for the visit is that it's her birthday in october and on the 13th she's running the chicago marathon - i hope to get quite a bit of shopping done while i'm over there.

koxka - i'm sure the voltage in belgium is the european standard - 220v, it's that here in england too.

I can't believe it! Another overseas Pet Talker is coming to Chicago and I'm not going to be here! We're going to be on vacation again at that time. I can't believe the bad timing we have with our vacations. <pout>

Well I just broke down and decided to buy one of these pet fountain filters. I was going to buy the same kind that Sas has but then I saw another kind and it was the last one. The name of it is Drinkwell Pet Fountain. I also bought the refill accessory for it so it can hold up to 12 cups of water. I bought it at Petco and they said that they tend to sell more of these than the other kind. I'm also going to buy a cord conduit which is a hard plastic protector so this will help protect the power cord. The cats seem to really like it and seem more curious than scared of it. I'll still keep their old water dish out for a while until they get more used to it. They are very spoiled cats but they should be because they are my children.

My three love the fountain and yet still drink from their old watering holes too!

You may want to check into swimming lessons for your crew.

I may end up buying a larger fountain, since having to take it apart (?) to refill it each day is a bit of a drag. I think any more than one cat requires a larger (extra water tank) system.

Gabe isn't sitting by it as often these days. It is also cooler out right now and the cats are more active - sitting on all the window sills and running around....spending less time just plastered to the cool floors.

Let me know how you like the larger fountain!

Those fountains are really nice!!
I checked out the Petsmart and Petco websites, there is so much cool kitty stuff there!! Lots of things I have never even seen in Dutch petstores (like the laser dot play thing and the Garfield feeding bowls).
Seems like American cats are better off than European ones when it comes to luxury items (I haven't told Piglet, she might get jealous and would want to immigrate asap )

Thats one reason why I decided to buy this brand because I do have 3 cats and they drink a lot of water. They seemed to ignore the new fountain today and wanted to drink from their old one. The good news is that Sunny hasn't played in either of the two water dishes.

Here's a picture of the new fountain.


Here's a pic of Sunny drinking from it. BTW it's one of his birthday presents.


Now Sunny and Storm just love the new fountain. Pepper still prefers to drink out of the old water dish.

Its so cool! I saw it at Petco a few days ago! Is that where you got it from? I wish they had mini ones for birds! I have a water fountain "decoration one" in the living room and my birds love to drink from it! Of course I only let them when I wash it and put new clean water.

Yes I bought it at Petco. It was the last one they had.

Better watch your pennies. The cats may start making wishes and tossing your pennies in their new major league fountain....

I think I will stick with the smaller one until I run out of filters, then I will spring for the larger fountain!

Thanks for the great pictures and I am glad your cats are enjoying the new toy!

sasvermont! I think Fister would love one of those fountains, since he's sitting in the bathroom for hours, waiting for us to pour water across the floor. I'll go and check if we can get them here!

Thanks for posting the pics!
