Drinkwell pet fountain (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

Last week we bought something new for Blackie, our cat. Ever since she moved in with us, we've been feeding her water from dishes and bowls. Said water would get refreshed every two to three days, which of course is sub-optimal. We also thought Blackie could and should drink more water, for her own health.

Because she used to love drinking from a running tap and still loves to drink water from "odd" places (like the pitcher I use to water the plants), I bought her a Drinkwell Pet Fountain. This nifty gizmo combines a traditional drinking bowl with a small aquarium pump and an additional reservoir to create a small fountain that resembles a running tap.

Blackie was rather fascinated by her new bowl and spent at least five minutes drinking and sniffing and playing with it. The next morning I also heard sneezes coming from the kitchen, meaning that she's still getting used to the stream of water ^_^
