moved it to my bathroom. She placed it in several different places. Now she has it on the floor
by her litter box(commode) with water in it. My water has been turned off again and I guess if I get thirsty,
I'll have to drink from this new thing.........Kassey
Kassey, make sure you don't kick litter in it! That would be icky.
ReplyDeleteTry this. First, definitely move it away from the litter box. That's not the most delectable place. Put it nearer to where she would normally drink but also add a little bowl of water next to it. She'll see that there is water in both but she'll notice that the fountain is running like she likes in the sink. Give it some days. Remember, it took me a whole yr to break Sam of it. Keep updating us; I'm dying to hear as the time goes on. XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteA few minutes ago, I put a bowl down in the kitchen, but she refused it. She and I went to the BR and she sat on the counter waiting for me to turn on the water. I pointed to the fountain and she jumped down and drank from it. Her litter box isn't close to it,it was my (litterbox with water in it.)where her fountain is. I just put it there cuz it's closer to the sink. I will move it to the other side since she has had a taste....GGB
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't put it by the litter box either. I would be afraid of dust and litter getting in it.
ReplyDeleteI just read your response...good! Hope it isn't by the litter!
Since she drank from it once she will more than likely drink from it again :)
I hope she is starting to drink from it soon. I agree by the litter box is not the place for it.
ReplyDeleteKassey, it's safe ! you can dip your paw in there first. if you won't feel safe, I do all the time : )
ReplyDeleteWe hope you'll get used to it in time, Kassey. Our mom got a fountain for us and when she first turned it on it scared us!

My mommy got a fountain for ME too, on the day I came home from the Vet hospital. I told her it was there to murder me. I heard its evil sound and I refused to try! Mommy had to take it up till I get all better. Then, I know she'll try again!
ReplyDeleteOooooo, I saw she TRIED it! Great news! She'll go back to it again now, and one of these days soon, she'll be not only drinking from it but probably dousing her foot or a toy in it, too :D
ReplyDeleteThat was very good news, GG
I'm sorry I wasn't clear in the post. Kassey was calling my commode a litter box with water. They are so observant and miss little.
ReplyDeleteYou tell you Mum Kassey it need to be get used for a new things..just like the human:-)
ReplyDeleteLol, you're right. They miss nothing. My two are voyeurs in the bathroom, sheesh.
ReplyDeleteFind somewhere to put it GG and just leave it there take no notice if she doesn't drink, she will when she is ready it just takes them a bit of time to suss it out, don't keep moving it

My cats had the same reaction. They stared at me like a was crazy.
ReplyDeleteNew things always take some getting used to but I hope this turns out to be a blessing in disguise.
