Thanks---seems there is probably nothing to worry about re Trixie, since everyone has heard similar sounds. Nothing else in her behavior has changed--she's as naughty as ever, thank goodness.

(these are NOT the cat fountains, but the human ones--and they are filled with everyday tap water because my cats HATE distilled or spring water; they seem to really like their water to have texture....) i have a batch of maine-coonabees around here, too, so a full bathtub is NOT an option: they would LOVE it, and i can just see the trails of water throughout the house....
