Petbarn is an absolute rip-off.

This cat fountain I want is more than fucking double the other shop near place.

Fuckers.

Edit: new water fountain obtained. Now, to figure out how to get the fluffy gremlin to actually use it...

Show her how to use it, like bend down and drink a bit from it. Cats like to drink from a source of water they know is safe, and you drinking from it tells her it's safe.

It's silly to us, but those fluffy chaos agents are driven by instinct and catnip

I saw her take a drink from it earlier but I'm not above a demo lol

Edit :

For future people, it worked lol
