A long time ago, before Cooper, I wrote a review of the Neater Feeder. At that time, it worked perfectly for us. Eventually, with the arrival of Coop and the need for both Cooper and Emmett to eat from slow-down-feeders, the Neater Feeder became our watering hole. It works well because I can keep two big, stainless bowls full – we go through a lot of water, and it was even faster consumption while Molly was here. But lately I’ve noticed someone else partaking in the Neater Feeder water station.
Look who’s bellying up to the bar…
She has her own little Newt-sized, whisker-friendly dish upstairs behind a gate that the dogs can’t reach, but she seems to prefer this one. It looks awkward, but I wonder if drinking perched precariously on the side is honoring some deep-rooted jaguar DNA that she doesn’t get to express often…
What’s even funnier is that if any one of the dogs is drinking away, the other two won’t hesitate to push, shove, and worm their way in to get sips simultaneously. Often, the three boys all have their faces shoved in there trying to angle for a drink.
When Newt’s up there? They back slowly away…

09•10•14 at 10:19 amMy cats have always liked to perch on the edge of the water bowl when getting a drink. They also yry to control scout’s food and water. I’ve noticed Newt laying in the space under your water station – will the boys drink while she is underneath?

09•13•14 at 6:31 pmWe had a double raised feeding dish for a while, with water in one side, and our cat Katie used to love to jump up there and drink the water. If the bowls happened to be out to be washed, you’d sometimes find her sitting in the empty hole, looking like one of those whack-a-mole games! Don’t worry, we never whacked her….LOL.
