Smarty cat

I woke up in the early hours of Monday with a headache and a hunch that I'd be calling in sick. I woke up again just before 6:00 certain of the fact. I went ahead and called in. I woke up at 9:00 and called my chiropractor for an emergency allergy treatment. I got back from that appointment at 10:30 and took a nap. After lunch I took another nap. After a load of laundry and some errands, I was back in bed by 9:20.

B-l-e-h.

The wind and rain last week and through the weekend carried in enough allergens to throw my system for a loop. I'm feeling better today, but tired. Still a little headachey, though, and delicate from yesterday's menstrual cramping (that didn't help the headache, I'm sure).

One of my errands was a jaunt out to Michael's to get glass marbles for the water fountain I bought for Fetish. I got it all cleaned and treated with the metal protectant to make the fountain food-safe. Poured in the marbles, filled it with water, plugged it in...and she just looked at it. I got a pillow from the couch and sat next to it, reading a book for about twenty minutes. She just looked at it. I really hope she figures out that running water is running water. It doesn't have to come out of the shower faucet. Is she smart enough to catch on? We'll see.

I don't want to introduce anything other than water (and cat saliva) into the pump system. Not intentionally, anyway.

Speaking of that, is there a way to filter the inevitable cat snotty/furry stuff before it goes into the pump? That's what made me give up the fountain thing cos Ymir just gets everything into it and Scarlett liked to dip her paws into the bowl all the time. Of course, Ymir is such a baby, he'd sit beside it and yowl until I cleaned it. He does the same with the bowls.

No idea. Sorry!
