Years ago I saw a photo of a Catit Water Fountain and thought it was AWESOME. I then couldn’t find any stockists in Australia and got bored with the idea. While wandering through my local PetBarn recently I spotted a familiar sight next to the cat food. Yup, Train’s water drinking experience was about to [...]

After posting about the Slim Cat Food Dispenser, we ordered one for Train. Critter Cottage provided great service and fast shipping. After it arrived we read the instructions, then tried it on Train.

Mr. J and I went to our local farmers’ markets last weekend. While picking up some potted herbs, we also grabbed some cat grass to make up the 4 for $10 deal. Train is an inside cat, and we live in the inner west, so she’s never actually seen grass, let alone eaten it. We [...]
