While the cats were napping yesterday their new water fountain arrived. They get pretty finicky with their old water fountain when it gets the slightest bit dirty, and it's a huge, heavy, awkward ceramic thing, so I thought I'd try to find a cheap and lighter alternative that may also be easier to clean. We do worry about them drinking enough water, and Basil has had all his urinary tract issues, so the hope is they will drink more water now. I got it all set up, and managed to capture a very cautious Hamish as he discovered it. So while I'm posting videos today, here's another. I even added suspenseful music quietly in the background.
Both cats seem to have taken to it well, so it will be moved to the landing where the other one is now and the old one will be stored or donated.

He's really cautious but hopefully they'll get used to it and drink plenty. We put out fresh water every day but they'll drink bowls of manky rain water in the garden.
Fresh water is boring, garden rain water is flavored! :)
Ours get an old gallon ice cream container with water - but they never drink it, they drink dirty water from anywhere there is any, or, failing that, fish water from the pond.
Maybe there is something to my wisecrack. Tap water may be sterile or bland to cats by nature, and they drink and taste more adventurously when outside. Makes sense.
