Hi,

So in the next few weeks, we'll be taking possession of two kittens. Feel free to suggest names, but right now I think we're leaning towards calling one "Dr. Teeth" and the other one "The Electric Mayhem".

Or maybe not.

In any event, what I'm really asking about are some powered accessories to help make keeping the cats a little easier for us. In particular I'm curious about:

Auto-scooping litter boxes
Pet drinking fountains

Do you have any experience with either of these tech toys? Do they actually help make things easier or are they big hassles to clean/maintain? In the case of the former, I really hate dealing with poop and in the latter, the last cat we had living with us seemed to prefer fresh-drip water from sinks/bathtubs and didn't care for the water dish. I'm hoping a gurgling fountain will be more appealing.

Any other tips for managing two cats? I'm essentially looking at
