“I love this! I bought it when my precious kitty was sick and not drinking. Both my cats chug water now. I've noticed a difference in there fur being softer and silkier because they are drinking more water. Because of the moving water it doesn't get the hard water lines. I top off the water everyday or other day and give it a good cleaning once a week. Best thing is it's quiet! I have it on my nigh”

“I purchased this fountain for a foster cat a couple months ago, and while at first it was fine, it is now nothing more than a water bowl that uses electricity. Even after replacing the filter, the flow does not get any better or greater like it did when it was new. Water evaporates quickly and I'm frequently pouring more water in it to replenish. When the water is low, it's noisy and you will know”
