| Inspired by this web site, I am taking on a weird project. Perhaps bold, perhaps stupid, certainly an unusual use for time. |
| The plan is to build a little water fountain for the cat. You know those water dishes that recirculate the water so the cat.. um, well, I'm not sure why they do it, I guess cats like moving water. I suppose I'll have to test this theory as step #1 in my project. |
| Assuming Roo does actually like the idea, I'm going to make one. There's no way I'm going to a pet store and drop $15 or something on some injection molded Kooky Kitty Hydro Fun Bowl; I can do better in way more time and at significantly greater expense. Hey, it's something to do, and it's vaguely artistic, which is always satisfying. Most importantly, it's an excuse to buy some tools. |
| I'm not going to say just yet what my ideas for it are (a shoe), because they're not fully baked yet, ahem. Suffice it to say, the plans are grand, most likely far grander than my skills, so please, don't judge the idea by the execution. |
