Labor Saving Idea For Cat

Labor Saving Idea For Cat FARM HOME Novelty Items 27-5-41 Thanks for the story in your last issue on my exhaust system, which removes odors from our cat's litter box in the basement of our house. I've come up with another labor-saving idea for my cat. Any time we would run water in our sink or flush a toilet, the cat would run like crazy to get a drink of water even though it already had a water bowl. To make it easier for the cat to get its own fresh water, I installed a separate water spout on our kitchen sink. A length of curved copper tubing taps into the existing water line. To get a drink, the cat puts its front feet on a small 3 by 5-in. stainless steel pedal mounted in one corner of the sink. The pedal is wired to a microswitch that opens a solenoid valve. It delivers a small, steady stream of water that's easy for the cat to drink. (Joe Hinger, 13772 Glazier Ct., Apple Valley, Minn. 55124 ph 952 953-0347)
