A frog worth its cost
A small item I acquired at the recent auction where I got my lovely sofa for
$20 is a hollow ceramic frog. I liked his looks, and I like real frogs a lot, but I wouldn't have bid on this frog without a better reason. I bought the frog in hopes of ending Tommy's habit of splashing water out of his bowl onto the floor. My guess was that the frog would save me a lot of mopping up after Tommy. It has done a commendable job of that. See pic for details: http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?use...cdate=20060924 |

It looks as though it would keep him from getting his face in there to get a drink. |

My solution was to give him his own water glass on top of a table. He loves it and no more splashing! Pua's got her own glass, too. Chloe prefers drinking out of the water dish. Go figure. kili |

That looks like the kind of frog that sits on your kitchen counter and holds the dish scrubber. Make sure it's kept really clean, though. I'm sure mold will build up otherwise. I'm glad it works.

I'd be buying a slightly larger water bowl so the cats don't have to do contortions with their little necks in order to get a drink. Jill |

I'd be buying a slightly larger water bowl so the cats don't have to do contortions with their little necks in order to get a drink. Jill They only have to contort a bit when the water level is way down. They also have a Pet-Mate fountain in another room which never gets splashed. They like having water available in more than one location. I do plan to get a slightly bigger dish for their kitchen water but a higher priority right now is one more covered litterbox. I have to do this kind of stuff gradually as the budget allows. I usually need other stuff more than the cats need the non-essentials that they get, and yet I end up spending money on them and putting stuff for me on hold. Like, I sure could use a new carbon steel wok. I haven't had a wok since before I moved to Arizona. It's been over 20 years. And I love to cook in a wok. Was looking at them in Walmart last week. They had the right size. But I won't get one until I have the yard cat-proofed so the masters can go outside safely, since there's more stuff I'll have to buy for the fence. |
