drinking fountain

We won a new drinking fountain from another blogger and got it in the mail last week. Mom got it set up on Saturday and we spent the day checking it out. We have had fountains before but they seem to have a short shelf life in this house or are seriously complicated to clean.

This one is from Catit and has a stainless steel top which mom prefers.

Of course the box was a big hit with everyone. 

 

the mistress of suspicion stared at it for a while

 

her minion soon arrived to help the investigation

Ivy was the first one to use it but by Sunday everyone had tried it. It came with a nice rubber mat that mom is using. There isn't a good space in the kitchen for the fountain - the cord isn't super long. With the floors being water proof and a good mat, mom put it just outside the kitchen. It really isn't in the way and seems to be in a good spot.

It is VERY quiet and the instructions make it seem easy to clean. Mom has high hopes. Goldfish sat and stared at it for a very long time before wandering off. She seems to be the only one still a little unsure of the fountain.

new toy for the kittens

Our friends Lola and Lexy from Lola the Rescued Cat sent mom a message asking if the kittens would enjoy a Catit racetrack. Now we've seen these before but haven't had one so mom said sure...those kittens love having things to chase.

Well, it came in the mail the other day and mom got it out and put it together.

after Mo had a chance to inspect it of course

So far the kittens are pretty fascinated. Mom put it together quickly before realizing that some of the pieces have humps in them. And she managed to snap all of those pieces together. MOL  She took it back apart and put it in a slightly different configuration too so it doesn't take up quite so much floor space. The kittens seem to have a good time running along it and then sticking a paw in a hole to try to get the ball. She has also seen it in a racetrack configuration and is going to try to figure that out. (good luck)

THANKS to Lola, Lexy and their mom Miss Dawn for the awesome new toy.
