Looks like turkey, probably tastes like chicken:

Learned from the Best

In the meantime, Pablo guards his sick master:

Guarding the Sick One

This is a bit disingenuous, to be honest. Pablo is actually quite upset with me because I, with the help of a gift from the awesome Norbizness, have taken away his favorite pasttime. He was actually waiting for me to wake up so that he wouldn’t be forced to drink from this new pet accessory that is fit for the yuppiest of yuppies:

The Yuppiest of Cat Accessories

This, folks, is the Drinkwell Pet Fountain. Yes, it does look like a little bidet. Here you see Pablo reluctantly drinking from the DPF after being placed there for the umpteenth time in the last week because he refuses to break the faucet habit. That Ryan sits around lauding the high quality of his cool, tasty glass of faucet water in front of poor Pablo probably doesn’t help things. Doug doesn’t give a shit — it’s his new favorite toy.

Bonus: it sounds like I have a fancy fountain in my living room, though every time I walk through the kitchen I suddenly have to pee.

Thank you, Norbizness, for the lovely thought.

    How are you feeling? I hope you’re on the road to recovery!

    Our female, Mecca, likes to watch water running out of faucets. Also, water draining. She’s also been known to watch an ice cube melt. For drinking purposes, however, nothing beats a bucket. Yep, we have two at strategic locations in our house, and our cats drink from them. Not that they’re spoiled or anything…

  5. hey you got one of those cat watering motorized things! although I think there’s a whole namebrand/clone thing goin’ on, as ours was only like 20 bucks, not nearly enough to be a yuppie toy.

    not sure why anyone wants to stop them drinking out of faucets, though. a leaky faucet is just wasting that water, anyway.

  6. Lauren-

    Hope you’re feeling better!

    Our cats like to drink out of faucets but drinking out of the fishtank filter (while standing on top of the tank) is even better. Three days ago fattest cat did this and the tank cover gave way, dumping said cat, light and lid into 30 gallon tank. Amazingly no one was electricuted. $*^@ cat killed lamp and filter -broke housing for pump and attachment point on pump- that boy’s FAT. I wish he’d stick to drinking out of the faucet.

  7. I find that the best way to aerate the water for the cat that comes and craps in my garden is with a Super Soaker. The trouble is he runs off every time he hears me pumping it up to pressure. But that does show just how much cats like to be ‘hydrated’!

  8. Did you have to take those giant horsepill antibiotics? I hope the pain/fever/sweats are gone or at least lessening in severity.

    The DPF is awesome and I’m thinking of buying that extra tank so I don’t have to refill it 3 times a day. Both the cat and dog refuse to drink out of anything besides the fountain. I’ve put mine on an IKEA small plastic kids step to keep as much dust and dirt out of it as possible.

    Happy belated Thanksgiving!

  9. I agree with Robert. Pablo is not guarding you, but I don’t think he’s waiting for you to get sick enough to eat you. He’s waiting for you to get up so he can take your spot on the couch, which you have warmed for him. 😉

  10. Our crew has two of these, both with water reservoirs. They all love to drink out of the flowing fountain. Willow uses it to dip her red pipe cleaners, wetting them, before putting them in the food bowl.
