What inspired me to get a cat drinking fountain was the fact that my cat would jump up onto the countertop and follow me into the bathroom only to "meow" at the faucet. I'd turn on the sink only for it to be too much or too little stream of water for my cat to drink... she's picky. One time I even left the house with the faucet running for the cat! Opps. Eversince I got my cat fountain she no longer "begs" for me to turn on the faucet.
For the past year I have had a cat drinking fountain. I first purchased one at the pet store that had a "bubble" top where the water flowed over the top of the plastic dome. The cat didn't touch it. So I tossed it and got a second cat fountain online- this time it worked...instantly!
My cat drinks from the fountain frequently and I don't have to worry about her running out of water while I'm gone for the weekend or a short trip. Even if the electricty stopped working gravity would allow the water to continue to flow into the basin below. It's fool proof and the best part is my cat loves it!
One downfall, my cat broke out on her chin area a few months into getting the fountain. I took her to the vet and the vet reassured me that it was just "feline acne" and not to be concerned. To prevent it, she instructed me to use soap and water to wipe clean my cat's food and water dishes regularly. Ever since my cat has not had another breakout of cat acne.
Overall, the fountain is well worth it and my cat would have it no other way.
