Loora, I bought that plastic fountain thing for an older cat I had that trained me to turn on the sink for him. Of course he never had any interest in the plastic thing so I kept turning the water on for the rest of his life.

I wish someone would make a beautiful pet drinking fountain out of the same stuff a toilet is made out of. All pets like to drink out of the toilet no matter how much you tell them it’s a bad idea.

I wonder when a designer is going to invent a bowl with an integrated fountain. My cat drinks water in her bowl next to her food (no problem about that here), and I bought her a special fountain to keep water fresh and running when we leave for more than a day. That fountain is… hideous, to say the least. Really, really, think “plastic made in China”. Awful. I can’t display it all the time.

How about inventing a special feeder with a removable, stainless steel bowl for the food, and a nice, well-thought fountain instead of the water bowl ? If I were to design this, I’d make the water reservoir removable, to make it easy to change the water. I’d add a filter.

All right, I’m this close to dismantling my fountain, and creating a diy prototype of my idea… but if a company thinks this is a good idea, I’d be happy to test theirs !
