Yes Dezi that’s right. 80% of your body is water. And as a kitty it’s not really in your nature to drink a lot of water. In the wild you would get a lot of water from the prey animals that you would eat.

Me knows dat’s what they say mommy, but me be weally glad me dusn’t have to hunt fur meez dinner and eat little mouseys.

 

Well sweety I’m glad you don’t have to hunt and eat little mice either. But that means you need to drink more water, and that’s not something a kitty readily does.

 

We do tho’, don’t we mommy? Lexi and me? We luv to dwink fwum our fountains.

Yes Dezi, you and your sister do like to drink from your fountains. But I remember a time beore we had a fountain, and you didn’t drink nearly enough water. You’re suppose to drink at least an ounce of water for every pound of body weight. And if you don’t, you’re in danger of becoming dehydrated. And that’s not good. Water is essential for your well being. It helps support your vital organ functions.

 

And it’s wespawnsible fur fings like digestion and waste wemoval too, wight?

 

That’s right honey. Do you know what causes dehydration Dezi?

 

Me duz mommy.. It happens when we don’t dwink enuff. Or when our fluid level dwops cuz of heat or dwy kibble. We animals sweat diffewently than hoomans do. Dogs pant and we kitties sweat fwu our paw pads. Duin’ this can deplete us of dat much needed hydwation purretty fast. So we need to weplenish. And one of da ways we can get da water our bodies need is to dwink more water. But a bowl of stagnant water isn’t weally appealin’, and altho’ sum doggis dwink outta da hooman pawdee box, dat’s not weally safe. Us anipals seem to kmow dat runnin’ water be furesh water and dat’s why Lexi and me like dwinkin’ fwum a fountain. so much.

And OMC Were we ever blest to have wecieved a pawsum Drinkwell Pagoda fountain fwum PetSafe. You can check out their udder pawsum purroducts by clickin’ on their name. And you can check ‘em out on twitter and facebook also. Our new fountain has 2 water falls to dwink fwum and two bowls too, an upper and larger bottom bowl. And it looks purretty. It comes in 4 diffewent colors to match or blend in wiff any décor. And it holds 70 ounces of furesh water dat it wecirculates over and over again. And it has not 1 but 2 filters to make da water even cleaner. It’s made of ceramic so it dusn’t cause dat feline acne. And they say it makes it easier to clean. Is it easier to clean mommy?

 

Oh yes Dezi, it sure is. I love how easy it is to clean. And that all the parts are in one place. And that there aren’t a billion little places to get all gunky and slimy. Yes Dezi, I like your new fountain as much as you and Lexi do. And the replacement filters are easy to find and not too expensive.

 dw4359

Dat’s pawsum mommy. How offen do yous have to clean it?

 

Well sweety it should be cleaned and filled with fresh water weekly, or as needed, but the filters only need to be changed once every 4 – 6 weeks.

 

So then it’s easy to maintain. You know what wulda been gweat mommy?

 dw Dezi and fountain

  1. Hi Dezi, It’s me Pete. I just wanted to let you know that I received my Smart Cat litter today! Dad got us a new litter box to try it in and I like the smell of it, or should I say I like that it doesn’t have any scent. Thank you so much for having these wonderful give aways. They are lots of fun!
    Sending prayers for Lexi from me and my sisters.
    Purrs and hugs

  2. This is such important information! I sometimes wonder if our Tommie had had more wet food and less kibble, he might not have gotten into kidney troubles. Fountains are great but wet food is very important too! We have a fountain at home, but I’d love to win a red one for PAWS animal shelter.
    Thank you! xxoo

  3. WOW……..great information about hydrating and I’m sure the fountain is a wonderful way to not only hear the soothing sound of water all day but have it stay more fresh! We’d love to try one – maybe the beige one? What a wonderful giveaway…….Also I hope things are quieter around your house now that the 4th of July is over with – AND that Lexi is feeling better too.

    Love, Sammy

  4. Oh my gosh. Of all the things I wish I could win it would be the fountain. As I have told you before I don’t think Oscar drinks near enough water and maybe a fountain would help. If I won I would love the Beige one. I got my fingers crossed on this one but I know there will be so many wanting one too that I won’t hold my breath. LOL!!!
    I know you are glad that the fireworks are over with for now. I hope you and Lexi are feeling better. I been worrying over Lexi and will keep her and you all in my prayers.
    Love you all so very much. Lots of hugs and kisses.
