Hi all! For those with cat fountains, how often do you refill it and clean it?
I've been cleaning ours once a week (disassemble, warm water, soap, brush, etc) and refilling it once a week. I'm thinking our cleaning schedule is ok but I probably should be changing the water out more. Before the fountain I would just top off her water bowl every other day. I've noticed the past couple of weeks a trend where the two days after I refill it my cat drinks a TON but then her thirst tapers off. Litter box deposits confirm this too. This is the fountain we use and it's been ok: fountain.
