I bought a Drinkwell fountain for my kitties.
I have 2 questions...
# 1...how often do you change out all of the water?
# 2...I have concerns about the fountain being made out of plastic. I never use plastic food or water bowls. I always use glass or ceramic. In the Drinkwell instructions, it says that some cats might have an allergic reaction to plastic. I am not worried about an allergic reaction because it would be obvious, but that does reaffirm my understanding that plastic in not an entirely inert material. My concern is about my cats being exposed to possible long term toxicity from only drinking water that has been exposed to plastic.
What is your opinion about this?
