Cat love the cat-it

It seems to make a big difference if the cats like running water. I haven't noticed that Jamie drinks out of his Fresh Flow more than he does out of his water bowls, but I know that his brothers love their Drinkwell.
My Cat's used to drink out of a bowl... reluctantly. And it had to be fresh... no water sitting for hours or anything. Now with the Kitty fountain I only change it once a day and they love it... the only complaint I get from them is when I unplug it to change the water. They don't like it not being on.
I've got one & my cats like it, but they still prefer to drink out of the bath tub drain. However, I bought it when my last cat was diagnosed with CRF, she LOVED it & it really helped incourage her to drink.

We caught Sashka drinking out of the toilet bowl the other day
.
Aside from the hygiene aspect I am also terrified that she will slip, fall in and drown. So we're thinking about getting a fountain now, as well. I mean, it's not like they don't have plenty of fresh water to drink in their bowls!!! But they prefer the loo, bath or sink to their bowls any day!

I keep seeing different people talking about these water fountains....but I keep wondering how the water inthem can be any fresher than just changing the water a couple times a day in thier bowls if the fountain is`nt attachedto a fresh water supply.(I use ice in my cats water...they love it!) I mean...do the fountains have a filter or something in them...and can you put ice in them???

We have three fountains and the cats love them. We also plan on putting in a pond with running water in the cat enclosure next year.
Too cool! Add a few goldfish and the cats will have entertainment too! :-)
My cats are indoor only, but we have a couple little ponds with a stream connecting them out front...and we often see some of the neighbor cats coming for a drink or to sit and watch.

my cats used to always play with the sink
adorable to watch them they dont do that any more tho they just look at it. and i found Eeyore drinking out of the toilet a while ago yuck! i wanted to get a fountain but dont have the money
but i will ones i get the chance i didnt no they loved it this much!
I broke down and got one last night on the way home for our babies. It has a charcoal filter and the water re-circulates to keep it fresh. I haven't seen any big changes in the kitties, i.e., they aren't blown away by it nor do they seem to fear it. Bijou just went over and started drinking out of it when I put it down.

Yes They have filters in them and they contain corbon (just like in fish tank filters) this helps keep the water "pure"
