Most important consideration in a cat fountain is to get something too heavy for your cat to knock over, as my cat decided to do this morning at 5 AM

I wonder if it's easier to drink that way? As I understand it adult cats aren't capable of sucking and have to flick water into their mouths with their tongues. Having the water come from a tap would mean they're not working against gravity to do that.

Having the water come from a tap would mean they're not working against gravity to do that. It’s also running water. A lot of weird poo poo cats do is because they’re only half domesticated and there’s reasons for it in the wild. Still water gathers bacteria running water is generally safer and cleaner. There’s an evolutionary advantage for the preference

Pazuzu has a bit of dermatitis on her paw and the vet prescribed an ointment for it. Tragically this means she has to wear her inflatable Victorian collar for an hour and a half after I apply it so she doesn’t lick it all off. She’s furious.

Cocoa followed me into the bathroom and kept an eye out from the bath tub while I did my business. Then she fell into the bath tub and immediately played it off.  .She also explored our closet.

BooBoo discovered how to open the garbage bin and he's in cahoots with the dog. Found BooBoo on the counter gnawing a chicken bone and he had also tossed one to the dog.

Pickle went outside for her Morning Poo and it was a bit cold out so she beeped at me and then climbed under the bed covers where she is now cuddling my feet.

He snuck out to his secret family again. Whoever it is must live really close, because he was only gone for about twenty minutes. Now he's sleeping on my bed

Anybody ever have a spontaneously bleeding cat before? I’m fostering an old guy (17 years old at best estimate) and he’s been having some weird poo poo happen to him while in my care. I’ve had him for two weeks now and he’s the sweetest boy but there’s some health stuff going on that I’ve never seen before. Firstly, he needs a rotten tooth removed ASAP and the foster place is reticent to tell me when they’re willing to take care of it, so that’s fun. I’ve booked an appointment to take care of it for this Wednesday but they’re being cagey about letting me go through with it and how much they’re willing to compensate me (or if they’ll even agree to that) because the quote was $800 more than “their usual guy”, who they don’t even have a date set with yet. He’s obviously in a lot of pain and deals with it by chewing the hell out of one of his back left toes. He’s chewed the fur pretty much completely off. That same foot experienced some random bruising/bleeding last week one day after he had his checkup and nails trimmed at the vet. I assumed this was brought on by some combination of the vet trimming his nails and/or how he chews it so violently, and so I didn’t really think much more of it. He’s a tuxedo cat with white feet so that stuff shines through pretty apparently. But today he’s suddenly got two open ulcers on his head that A.) weren’t there an hour ago, and B.) likely weren’t caused by my other cat, who herself has been taken mysteriously ill and hasn’t left my bed all day. I’m at a loss here. I am taking my bed-ridden cat to the vet first thing in the morning to see what the hell is going on with her, but can’t take mr tuxedo man at the same time unless it’s approved first by the foster organization. Incredibly confused right now.

Teriyaki Koinku posted:Won't stop begging me for a midnight snack of catfood. Are they not open to being free fed? I just leave food out 24/7 and my cat manages it, completely clean the plate and swap once a week but normally just scooting what he has closest to him then putting more behind it. (He eats off a plate he doesn't like bowls, also round things, it's a square plate, cats are weird.) Obviously if your cat is just going to eat it all until they puke this isn't going to work.
