It's what the dogs crave.

Water? Like from a toilet?

my cat: The water has stopped moving, therefore it is poison.

Meanwhile my cat fountain sprouts algea if you look at it wrong.

(On a more serious note, if this is happening to you then you're not following the instructions to clean the device and replace the filter once a month.)

Yeah, because I'm doing it more frequently. I think it's the design of this particular one. I've seen other comments say the same thing (on a video about how to clean it thoroughly, disassembling pump and everything).

Does it get sunlight from a nearby window? Algae loves raw sunlight.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I only give my algae bagged sunlight

Then it's not getting the freshest photons.

If water is in the bowl it'll only drink if it's moving, but if it's anywhere else than it can be dirty

Bonus points for toilet water, and water from my foot bath when I go into the other room.

[–] Vigilante@lemmy.today 1 points 8 months ago

Close the door when you go into the other room then like bruh

I've got a dog that stays outside most of the time, she will not drink the clean water I set outside if there are any puddles in the mud and gravel

That is mud, you're drinking mud.

This has had me laughing way longer than it probably should’ve
