Cats instinctively love & trust moving water as stagnant water can accumulate bacteria & disease.
So a cat fountain sounds like a gimmick or novelty but it’s a great idea.
- arwhatever 3y agoI bet my cat drinks 500% more water since getting him this fountain, as compared to a still bowl of water. It’s cute and adorable (the fountain is a bit silly looking), and I have to assume it’s good for him. And to guard against power outages, I got him a separate fountain with an open top, so in a pinch at least he had some standing water.
- jamincan 3y agoI got one after I noticed how much my cat liked to jump up to the sink and try to drink from the tap while I was using it. He loves it, and anecdotally seems to drink more than he did without.
- upon_drumhead 3y agoOurs love direct from tap,but assumes the fountain is going to kill them.
- small_fish 3y agoOne of my cats learned to bump the faucet lever on the kitchen sink when he wanted a drink. Fortunately the sink only overflowed twice but that was enough to make me very serious about not leaving dishes in the sink.
- fundad 3y agoSame here, we like our own furniture and faucets. So the cats have their own cat towers and a water fountain. The first day with the fountain, the cats were so chill. I wonder if running-water sound soothes them.
- AngryData 3y agoYeah I though ti was weird and was skeptical the first time I saw one. Ended up getting one later and the cats love it.
