About
What it is.
Catit's Pixi line covers feeding and hydration gear built around form as much as function, and the Pixi Smart Drinking Fountain is the drinking-water piece of that set. It belongs to the automatic fountain category within cat products: a housing that circulates and filters water so cats drink more than they would from a still bowl.
Within that category it's aimed at owners who care about the object itself, not just its output — the shape, materials, and finish of the fountain sit alongside filtration as reasons to choose it. It suits households that already buy into design-forward pet gear and want their cat's water station to look considered rather than purely utilitarian, while still doing the basic job of keeping water moving and filtered.
The verdict
The Catit Pixi Smart Drinking Fountain wins consistent praise from owners for its quiet operation and stainless steel construction, though filter availability and limited capacity make it better suited to single-cat households than multi-cat ones. At $133–$147, it's built for someone who values thoughtful design and is willing to manage its refill logistics.

Catit - PIXI Smart Drinking Fountain
Catit
Find your situation?
Made for some — wrong for others.
You love thoughtful design and enjoy the sensory experience of a quality pet product.
Pixi Smart combines aesthetic design with smart features that delight beyond basic function; the brand appeals to buyers who see pet care as a lifestyle choice.
You want a prestige brand and design-forward cat product.
Catit is an established, respected maker; Pixi Smart carries premium positioning and design intent, though it lacks the flagship cachet of a true luxury brand.
You demand the best-in-class cat fountain money can buy.
Pixi Smart is a top-tier offering with smart features and strong positioning, but without deep review consensus or clear best-in-class proof, it falls short of unambiguous perfection.
You want a fountain that works out of the box with minimal fuss.
Smart features and app integration add convenience but also setup complexity; simpler, non-smart fountains require less configuration and troubleshooting.
You need a proven, low-risk cat fountain with broad consensus.
Catit is established, but Pixi Smart's catalog confidence is mid-tier (2/3) and review depth is unclear; more mature alternatives with thicker rating counts exist. Consider Drinkwell Pagoda Fountain.
You want a working cat fountain without spending much.
At $133–147, this is a premium-tier price point; cheaper rivals like the Raindrop ($60–70) or Eversweet Solo 2 ($45–60) deliver core hydration without the smart markup. Consider Raindrop Fountain.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
Is the Pixi Smart Catit fountain good?
Owners rate it 4.1 out of 5 across 202 reviews and praise its quiet operation, stainless steel construction, and multiple drinking modes that cats readily use. The main trade-offs are limited capacity for multi-cat households and the need to source replacement filters outside the box.
What are buyers most and least satisfied with?
Buyers rate drinking modes, cat acceptance, ease of setup, and water-level visibility all at 4.7–4.8 out of 5. Satisfaction divides over filter availability and whether the reservoir size works for households with more than two cats.
Who is this fountain best for?
It suits single- or dual-cat owners who value thoughtful design and don't mind managing refill logistics. If you already buy design-forward pet gear and want your cat's water station to look considered rather than purely utilitarian, this fountain combines that aesthetic with smart features and stainless steel hygiene.
How does the Pixi Smart compare to a simpler fountain?
The Pixi Smart adds app control and smart alerts, but that also means more setup complexity and potential troubleshooting. If you want a fountain that works out of the box with minimal fuss, a non-smart model may require less configuration.
How often do I need to change the filter?
The material provided does not specify filter-replacement intervals. Owners report that replacement filters are available through retailers like Walmart, though not always through the original point of purchase.
Will cats actually use it?
Buyers report strong cat adoption. Long-term owners note their cats have preferred the fountain spout to standing water for years, and cats accept the multiple drinking modes—the fountain scored 4.8 out of 5 for cat acceptance and design appeal.
