> The idea of a water fountain for cats may sound odd
Cats instinctively love & trust moving water as stagnant water can accumulate bacteria & disease.
So a cat fountain sounds like a gimmick or novelty but it’s a great idea.

I bet my cat drinks 500% more water since getting him this fountain, as compared to a still bowl of water.
It’s cute and adorable (the fountain is a bit silly looking), and I have to assume it’s good for him.
And to guard against power outages, I got him a separate fountain with an open top, so in a pinch at least he had some standing water.
I got one after I noticed how much my cat liked to jump up to the sink and try to drink from the tap while I was using it. He loves it, and anecdotally seems to drink more than he did without.
One of my cats learned to bump the faucet lever on the kitchen sink when he wanted a drink. Fortunately the sink only overflowed twice but that was enough to make me very serious about not leaving dishes in the sink.
Ours love direct from tap,but assumes the fountain is going to kill them.
Same here, we like our own furniture and faucets.
So the cats have their own cat towers and a water fountain. The first day with the fountain, the cats were so chill. I wonder if running-water sound soothes them.
Yeah I though ti was weird and was skeptical the first time I saw one. Ended up getting one later and the cats love it.
