Oooh a fountain! Many cats love water flowing or dripping out of faucets. Talk about fresh! Cat fountains are a water-economical way to provide your cat with flowing or bubbling water that will encourage them to drink. Just make sure to keep the inside of the fountain very clean, and replace all the water frequently.
About the Portuguese language. Portuguese is spoken by over 200 million people worldwide and is the official language of Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, and several other former Portuguese colonies.
I don't notice in anybody's messages anything about English spoken. Is it spoken by many people in the Azores, and do the hotels, taxis, and restaurants have someone that speaks English? My elderly parents are going to visit Sao Miguel for a week soon, staying at the Vila Nova Hotel in Ponta Delgada.
