What can I say? It's my favorite (and pretty much only) beverage. But man -- it's hard to get fresh water around here. Once, maybe twice a day, my bowl gets dumped out and refreshed, but is that really enough? Certainly not. So I'm reduced to wandering around the house, licking faucets and poking my head into half-full water glasses that my people have abandoned, seemingly to mock me.
If only my people would change my water every hour, on the hour. That is one of my fondest hopes. Do you have any idea how much dust can settle on the surface of still water in just an hour? And then it starts to get that old, flat taste. It's simply terrible, and this is just an hour we're talking about. Sometimes it isn't changed for a truly horrifying twelve hours.
The one thing that would solve all these problems is a continuous-flow fountain. (And human beings are supposed to be so smart! These two are apparently too dense to even consider the idea. There is no other explanation.) Just think of it -- fresh water, all the time, whenever I want. You can find these things on the Web, and I definitely recommend you get one if you can. Apparently I can't. It doesn't matter how much meowing I do in front of the bowl -- they just don't understand that I'm actually saying, "get a fountain! get a fountain!" They invariably respond by scratching my head and refilling my water bowl. Which isn't bad, but it could be better. I hope they read my page.
