Ping: Catnipped
How are things with your Drinkwell fountain? I know you said Bandit was
drinking more water which was the goal. How about the others? Persia is absolutely enamoured with hers. In the middle of the night I sometimes hear her slurping at the pouring water before she rejoins me on the bed Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off. |

Jessie still wants a drink from the faucet every time DH or I go near one, but I think that has more to do with wanting attention than drinking (although we do think she's part camel going by the amount of water she can ingest at one time and how long it takes her to top off!). Bandit treats the Drinkwell like a watering hole on the Savannah - she lies down next to it to camp out for an hour or so, every once in a while leaning over to drink her fill. I'm glad that I read another thread you posted about washing it, though. I didn't know until then that the "propeller" ("impeller") thingie came out. The magnet that holds it in place is pretty strong and I wouldn't have tried to "force it" otherwise. So thanks! Hugs, CatNipped Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off. |

I think the mineral content in our local water has gone up. It takes far less time for it to gunk up than it used to. (sigh) Jill |

Our girls prefer filtered water, chilled of course. NO, I am not trained! |

What I do is store their tap water in a bottle and then refill the fountain from that - if you let it sit a day or two that seems to let the minerals settle to the bottom - just don't empty the whole bottle into the fountain.

Jo The bottled "Spring Water" I used once gunked the fountain up even faster than the tap water. I suppose I could use distilled water but I can't imaging that tasting very good. Jill |

Memphis water comes from Artesian wells; it's pretty darned good tap water. Maybe it is just my imagination about the gunking - uh, no, it's not. The fountain used to need a thorough cleaning every 7 days, now it's more like every 4-5 days. Okay, maybe I'll get a Brita filter pitcher. Jill |
