Fountain deterrant--Any suggestions?
"MaryL" -OUT-THE-LITTER wrote in message news:2RC5g.210$QE.73@dukeread10 "oldhickory" wrote in message ... Help! We have a couple of fountains that we want to put back out in our home but can't figure out a way to keep the cat from drinking out of them. I was given one of those little fountains, but Holly is greatly attracted to moving water -- not just to drink but also to play. It isn't worth taking risks with her health. I keep mine set up without any water. Yeah! That's right! Me too! I, too, have a fountain - beautiful thing it is; marble, lovely display or so the brochure pictures said, cost me a fortune - but I won't have it working just in case it poisons my cats. Then there's my swimming pool. Empty, and it'll stay that way. Can't have my cat accidentally falling into it and drowning. I also refuse to have an electrical supply running into the house, in case my kittie sticks her paws into the outlets and gets electrocuted. Sure, it makes life very uncomfortable, and it's Hell living without a fridge, TV, music, heating, and lights, and my two kids were taken into care for "neglect", but no matter. The cat is all that's important. No, it's not as pleasant to look at, but the alternative (possibly a sick cat) makes it well worth doing without the pleasantry of a working fountain. Absolutely. Sure, when folks come round and point out to you that, surely, it's pointless having a fountain if there's no water in it, and they think you're a few cards short of the deck when you say it's because of the cat; well, that may cause problems with your social standing, and make you think that people consider you peculiar. "**** 'em", I always say. Likewise, I no longer keep real plants indoors -- same reaon. I have lots of plants outdoor, but not inside. Well done. Real plants indoors? Psshhooh! OK, so real plants turn a house into a home. They can fill a room with pleasant odours, life, energy, and beauty. Sure, the communion between plants, the house, and humans is a holy, beautiful thing. But **** them. Plastic ones are good enough for us, Mary. It's for the cats!!!!! There are certain "trade offs" that come with pets, and the great pleasure I get from my furry twosome makes all of those decisions very easy to make. I couldn't agree with you less, Mary. Say - have you ever considered purchasing some form of battery-operated, vibrating sex-aid? You should. It would do you the world of good, you know. |

Fountain deterrant--Any suggestions? You guys are total jerks.
To others who responded with constructive suggestions, thank you very much.
To these guys, for pointing out what a worthless person I am, gosh, thanks for being so helpful. Since I'm so fricken worthless, I guess I'll stop trying to find a solution to my dilemma and I'll 1. Put the fountain back out and let the cats drink out of it and get sick. 2. Get rid of the fountain that I love having for mental health reasons 3. Get rid of the cats. There is obviously no point in trying to be intelligent or resourceful about anything ever again..... sheesh......why do I bother communicating? "Will-Lee-Cue" wrote in message ... Well Dave ...

We have a couple of fountains that we want to put back out in our home but can't figure out a way to keep the cat from drinking out of them. snip Add distilled water to the sterilized fountain (and rocks) and install a carbon filter in the fountain - it should have a filter already in it which needs to be cleaned and replaced monthly at least. If it has no filter, you are pretty much sunk - you will have to ditch the fountains. You can sterilize the fountain by running a 10% bleach solution through it for 10 minutes, and then rinse it well with distilled water. Remove all the rocks and treat them separately. Dry all parts with paper towles and let them sit for 48 hours to liberate any chlorine that might be left. -L. |

"oldhickory" wrote sheesh......why do I bother communicating? Communicating involves listening and considering ideas outside your own. If you start off with a closed mind then no communication is possible. You asked for opinions and opinions you got ... take them for what they are worth. I hope you resolve your problems with your cat to your complete satisfaction. Willee |

Buffy's family,
This is a shameless plug for my company, but have you considered an electronic cat repellent? We carry one for just under $30 that is completely inaudible to humans. It is called a CatScram and operates off a 9v battery or optional AC adapter. Here's the description: The CatScram cat repellent is easy to use. Just turn it on and place it so it faces the area you want to be cat free. CatScram watches around the clock so you won't come home to find any more yakballs on your stove or cat urine marking on your expensive couch. And the link: http://www.odordestroyer.com/Merchan...ct_Code=CSCRAM Hope that helps, Philip ----------------------------- http://www.OdorDestroyer.com Powerful pet odor removers for powerful pet odors. oldhickory wrote: To others who responded with constructive suggestions, thank you very much.
