No indoor fountains for me, but I would like to have a fish tank. I have also planned to have an outdoor fountain for many years, but $$ runs out before we get to that point!
It's an Irish Breakfast day for me.

I have 2 working fountains and my cats, only 1 geisha cat, and my big man Mordor, both love to drink the dribbling water.Chip wrote:As much as I abhor chlorine in my tea, I always add a few drops to a gallon of water that I use exclusively for filling the fountains and hardly ever need to clean them (which was another peeve I had with them). well, one more tidbit, geisha cats love to drink from them.
Chip, the bleach in the water doesn't hurt them because it evaporates or due to the fact that you use a small amount of bleach?In my cup this am was Nilgiri and then I moved on to Matcha, quickly becoming one of my favorites any time of the day. Currently I can handle the buzz this green delight affords me everytime I imbibe.
Have a FAB TeaDay everyone!

Tou cha, er touche. I stand corrected. Do you ever talk about oolong anymore?Victoria wrote: Actually, I believe I was the first to mention it (shincha) this year.
Ha!
A little earlier, Adagio Yunnan Noir, the best Yunnan I have had, well, IMHO.
Just had an incredible session with Organic Yabe Supreme from Japanese Green Tea Shop.

A few drops per gallon of water is likely better than the bacteria that could be forming from cats drinking the water that might not be changed regularly. And yes, Chlorine evaporates very quickly anyway, especially from moving water.Shelob wrote: I have 2 working fountains and my cats, only 1 geisha cat, and my big man Mordor, both love to drink the dribbling water.

I'm more fond of dogs than cats myself... but this would make a great TeaDay poll for a rainy day!brianlavelle wrote:No indoor fountain here either - I'm not sure what our two cats—Bob & Hamish—would make of that! (By the way, is there some correlation between tea lovers and cat lovers...?)

Wasn't sure if that poll, or something similar, had been done before, but sounds good to me!chamekke wrote:I'm more fond of dogs than cats myself... but this would make a great TeaDay poll for a rainy day!brianlavelle wrote:No indoor fountain here either - I'm not sure what our two cats—Bob & Hamish—would make of that!
