Fancy Feast!
I should imagine a Google search for Waterford Crystal ought to get you in
the arena of something suitable. Be advised, Waterford may require you to upgrade to fresh shrimp and select Sushi, as is hand fed at Jo Firey's. Cheers, Jack "jmcquown" wrote in message .. . Persia absolutely adores Fancy Feast. She wakes me up (if I'm not already awake) by tapping me on the shoulder on Saturday mornings. Tap-tap... wake up. It's Saturday! Then she rushes to the kitchen and waits while I give her the once-a-week treat of a can of Fancy Feast. I think she deserves a cut-glass cat bowl for this, like in the commercials. Anyone know where I can get one? Jill |

The cats may not use my Waterford! (Only because there are only 2 sherry glasses
from my husbands stay in Britain 40 years ago. And they are far too small for the cats to benefit) My neighbors cat drinks from a cut glass stemmed glass on their wet bar. (I think it is a glass or dish referred to as a "Sherbet" He stands and waits for his glass to be filled before he will drink. Will not touch stale water. I'm surprised he doesn't insist on bottled water. He's pretty much a very spoiled alley cat and none of this setup is nearly as fancy as it sounds. Ours do drink bottled water. But only outside and only because its always around for the kids to take to football practice and there is no water source near the water dish my husband keeps with the dry food dish on the workbench in the garage. So there is usually bottled water there to fill it with. Britta's mom would have a fit it she saw ours sneaking into the iced drinking water we put on our nightstands. Charlie used to put a glass of cola to sip in case he would start coughing at night, but the cats kept spilling it so he switched to water.

It does have lead, but I'm pretty sure it cannot escape into the food/liquid you put in it. It's not a crystal though, it's only glass with a fancy name. -- Victor M.

I found a cut glass bowl on ebay that looks like the FF commercial but it's only 99 cents. lol http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...657391&categor y=2713 |

(Hmmm, that didn't stop me from buying my fiance crystal liquor decanters for Christmas several years back!) Jill Crystal is perfectly safe. The process is indeed to add lead to the molten glass, which increases the density and causes greater refraction of light, hence the name crystal. The density of carbon crystals works to put the sparkle in diamonds, you know. Anyway, the lead is so fused in the mixture there is no danger. What you are likely thinking about is the occasional problem with ceramic glazes containing lead. From time to time, one hears of someone getting lead poisoning from the lead leaching out into food, particularly acidic substances such as fruit juices. It can happen when the glazing process does not go as intended. The difference is leaded glass is made at higher temperatures and mixed thoroughly, whereas such is not always the case with glaze. The introduction of adding metal to glass reportedly got started when a gold medal, awarded to a glass maker by the king, fell from the man's chest, into molten glass he was working. It turned the glass red, from which glass makers began to experiment with other metals. Never did hear, if the man who made the discovery, got another gold medal. In your particular case, Jill, the greater danger is likely to be found in the contents of those decanters. Mayhaps you've heard that *candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker?* Cheers, Jack |
