Hi Reader,

Spring is in the air in Kansas City - I love the smells of Spring, and the colors are the best.

Mark, one of the winners of the Litter Zero giveaway in January, sent in this photo saying: "We received our Litter Zero cat litter waste system last week and have been using it since. It operates similarly to our kids' diaper pails, so the operation is familiar, but it seals in odors better. We look forward to not bagging litter every day and not having our house smell."

If you've got time, here are some recent Shorts to check out.

​Cat Water Fountain Spotlight: The Elfin / Cheerble​

When Jackie reached out asking for a replacement for her 6-year-old fountain, I knew exactly which one to suggest. After using it ourselves, it’s easily one of my top picks for its ease of cleaning and sleek design.

The Suggestion: Elfin / Cheerble Fountain

These are the exact same fountain sold under two different brand names. I recommend checking both links to see which one has the better price at the moment!

• Direct from Elfin: Shop Elfin Website​
  • Use Coupon Code FLOPPYCATS for 10% off!
• Via Amazon (Cheerble): Shop Cheerble on Amazon​
• Replacement Filters: Official Filters | Aftermarket Filters​

Why I love it: You can see exactly how much water is left, it runs continuously, and it is incredibly easy to disassemble and clean. You can check out my full video review and cleaning tutorial right here.

Success Story: Teaching Anell to Drink

Jackie recently updated us on how her cats are liking the new setup. While some cats take to a new fountain immediately, others—like her girl Anell—need a little "human" encouragement!

Pro-Tip for New Fountain Owners

If your cat is hesitant or still running to the bathroom faucet, try Jackie’s trick: Model the behavior. Sometimes showing them that the water is safe and "tasty" is all the encouragement they need to ditch the sink for their new fountain.

​Max – Ragdoll of the Week​

"We got Max back in 2017 from a pet store in NY called Worldwide puppies and kittens. In all honestly this store was highly recommended plus we couldn’t find any breeder in the area who was selling Ragdoll kittens. Traveling all the way to this pet store made me feel secure that I was going to come home with something. After giving them a call and sling for a Ragdoll Kitten then answered saying they had one left. We rushed and I’m glad we made the trip. It took us about a couple of weeks and a couple websites until we found our beloved Max."
