Hi,

I've noticed that Vicki's water has an awful smell when I go to change it.
Sometimes the tap water has an "algae" smell when you first turn it on, but
this smell does not match.

I feed Vicki Nutro wet food..could it be that since she usually drinks
around the time she's eating that some of the food is getting from her
mouth and tongue and getting in the water, giving it that smell?

She also has three large vaccination and identification plates..They dangle
in the water while she drinks..Could they be creating the smell. One of the
plates was made by those in-store tag machines..Perhaps the water is making
the paint on the tag leach off?

Just wondering whether anyone has had any experience with this..She doesn't
seem to mind the smell, or be affected by it (unless she's slowly being
poisoned).

I'm going to buy bottled water and see if that makes a difference..If it
doesn't, then it is something outside the water (does my cat have lead
poisoning? I adopted her recently from a shelter, she's 6 years old)

thanks!
Bev
