    We have a water fountain for our cats. Initially it was treated with great suspicion, but now they drink out of it regularly, and are miffed when it is out of commission whilst being cleaned. (We live in a hard water area so the limescale does build up). I'd recommend them.
    It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

    One of our cats will only drink from a running tap - makes morning tooth brushing fun and my bathroom sink is always covered in paw prints!!

    Having been in the nursery game for 30 years we have just learned that Asiatic Lily pollen is poisonous to cats. Never needed to know before because this is the first time we have grown them. So be cautious.

    if you have leaf munchers basically all ornamental bulbous plants are toxic to cats.

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

    Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.

    All members of the lily family are poisonous to cats. Most ornamental and bulb based plants are.

    If you think that's being rude, may I suggest you don't step outside your front door - you could be in for a shock.

    The variety of spellings and words in the English language is why we love our puns so much.
