thanks for all your help! (I hope I'm not being too annoying!)

Do you guys have any suggestions for good drinking fountains and food feeders (hopefully that do wet-food too)?

thanks!

I have a fountain for my cats and I believe it is a Drinkwell Pet Fountain. I went ahead and bought the extra storage for more water as it will put more in there when they drink.

We have the PetMate Fresh Flow water fountain for our boys. They absolutely love it. We got it (the smaller size) at PetSmart's or PetCo's website (since we don't have a store localy) for about 20.00 on sale. They really are a great invesment. I've also heard good things about the fountain Zerlina mentioned: the Drinkwell fountain. So, I guess it comes down to your personal preference and what you think your cats would prefer. Good luck!

I have 16 cats. Would one water fountain do? Would I have to change the filter too often ($$wise) because the cats go through alot of water? Donna

I don't know if you could get by with one fountain or not.

Thanks. I've been reading where some are using distilled water for their cats. What do you think? Donna

Do you wash or just rinse the water container out daily and change out any water? How often do you wash the filter? I may buy one, may wait until after Xmas. I have several cats that love water running from the sink. I will still leave a regular bowl of water out. Donna

I just add water to it daily and I take it apart and wash it out once a week in soapy water and rinse it really well.

Distilled water is great for cats because it doesn't contain any of the smells or tastes that city water has and they drink it better and more.
