I have a cat question.
The ever flow water thing I got my cat finally arrived and I set it up. She woudln't go anywhere near it the first day and kept meowing at me begging me to turn on the bathroom facuet. I haven't been because I want her to get used to the water dish, but this morning she got too annoying and I caved and she drank a lot.
Intellectually I know she won't let herself dehydrate and eventually she'll start using the water dish and stop begging for the faucet, but emotionally I feel like I'm being really mean and maybe she is going to make herself sick.
They only have CDs, eh?
Um.
Somebody further up liked the new Sleater-Kinney, yes?
Or, anything at all by Pavement. I ♥ Pavement. I'd say go with Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain but all are good.
No, they have dvds, too.
Problem is, he's so rarely there.
We have one of the auto waterer dishes for Cat, but I don't remember if she had trouble using it at first.
sniff
Cat. Ima miss her.
My cat keeps giving me pathetic noises to turn on the faucet, even though there's a mini-fountain for the kitties. Of course, all the faucets drip, so it's the best of both worlds for them.
This has a little ramp thing that the water slides down. I figured it would be perfect for her.
Askye, can you try taking her over to it and showing her that it is not scary, or will she not allow you to do that?
Intellectually I know she won't let herself dehydrate and eventually she'll start using the water dish and stop begging for the faucet, but emotionally I feel like I'm being really mean and maybe she is going to make herself sick.
Can you put the fountain by the faucet and switch back and forth on which one you turn on for her? Then just the fountain. Then move it away gradually...
How long have you had it?
I have a friend who got her cats one because one of them was having kidney problems and needed bottled water. And they both loved moving water better than still. When she first got it the one with the kidney problems wouldn't go near it and the other one liked to sit next to it. Meditating you know.
But they did both drink from it in the end.
I got it Monday. It plugs in to the wall --it's got a water pump and a filter so it makes a humming noise. The only outlet in the bathroom is up high and the door opens right next to it, so I could probably fit the water fountain in there, but I'd knock the door against it.
I've taken her to it. Stuck my fingers in the water and tried to get her to lick the water off, she wouldn't.
She hasn't meowed very much since I got home, so I'm thinking she's used it and is hoping I'll keep turning on the faucet.
