I’ve recently (3 months ago) adopted an older cat (8yr old female tortie) and she will drink from her water bowl but she always like digs in front of it before she attempts to drink from it. She also prefers drinking from the bowl right after I fill it up. Kitty cat also seems to prefer drinking the water off the shower floor over her bowl (she will cry if the shower floor is dry). I guess I’m just wondering if my kitty would want a cat fountain over a bowl/shower? I have done basic research as in I know that most cats prefer flowing water etc. but my past cat I had didn’t care if that the water was stagnant. I am just a bit hesitant to get a fountain as they are a bit of money and I don’t want to buy one and then she doesn’t use it. (Also any cat fountain recommendations welcome) submitted by /u/lunastarnight100 to r/CatAdvice [link] [comments]

This is not a serious issue so apologies if it is not allowed. Ever since we got the fountain he has done this weird thing with his paw and I don’t understand why? He sometimes will try to open the lid as well. My best guess is thinks something is inside? But he doesn’t do it to anything else, for example if there’s a box or drawer he wanted to get into he wouldn’t do this. (Also sorry for the mess in the video- he does this randomly so hard to get a video of it!) submitted by /u/tupsybee to r/CATHELP [link] [comments]

I don't know if Apollo is actually drinking "more" yet as he's only had it a day, but so far he only drinks from it using his paw. Is that good? 😅 submitted by /u/Tilas to r/cats [link] [comments]

I have a dog who is getting old, and want to keep his kidneys in good health. He loves to drink running water out of a faucet, so I looked into pet drinking water fountains. I looked deep into it, as pets have very few regulations to protect them. I also lost a male cat years ago to crystals in his urine, who also loved to drink from the faucet. My first realization in my search is these fountains are heavily marketed to cat people. For good reason given my cat died from not drinking enough water. I narrowed my search and looked at cat fountains too. Food grade stainless steel was critical since it is very safe. Having a pump that did not sit in water was also critical. This was important to not only prevent accidental electrocution, but to keep any plastic pump chemicals from leaching into the water. I found a cat water fountain that seemed to fit my criteria very well, but like every single pet fountain on the market, it is made in China. I emailed the USA component of the company. "It's all safe and meets FDA standard" I was initially told. I knew FDA does not regulate pet drinking water bowls, but ordered it anyway. I really wanted a fountain because I love my dog. This one was close to everything I wanted. When it arrived, it looked pretty good. But there were parts that were not discussed in the marketing or shown in photos. One part was a small sponge on the (advertised but not USA certified "bpa free") plastic intake pipe that clearly sits in the water being drawn into the pump. I wrote to the company and inquired about the sponge. The company said it was made of "polyurethane foam, specifically designed for use in pet drinking water." Saying "pet drinking water" raised a flag. Pets need safe clean water but do not have regulations protecting them as humans do. So I researched "polyurethane foam" use in human drinking water. I learned to be used in USA drinking water the foam must have NSF/ANSI 61 OR WRAS certification. The company said: "No, this sponge does not have individual NSF/ANSI 61 or WRAS certification. These specific certifications are typically applied to the entire water fountain product as a whole system, rather than to individual internal parts like this filter sponge. However, the sponge is still made from safe, non-toxic, and BPA-free materials, as confirmed previously." I do not trust that answer, and the company did admit the fountain cannot be considered safe for humans and refunded my money. I will throw the product away. I am pretty bummed that we cant make a safe drinking fountain for pets. I've looked at pretty much all of them, which is why I'm not specifically naming the company here. Others have more issues and hidden parts. There is a USA company who makes fountains for pets in public parks, but cost $1000s. Maybe it's all safe but I am unwilling to risk it. Props to the company for answering me, but it was like pulling teeth to get a direct answer other than "it's all safe for pets." Just wanted to relate my experience that there are parts sitting in water in these pet water fountains that are not USA certified, and made in China. Consider any risk of electrocution too, before buying a fountain. Feed wet food with human safe water from your sink to increase water intake, from a non-plastic glass or stainless steel bowl, that's what I'm doing. Put pressure on these companies to do better for our pets. Someone please make a safe, and affordable fountain. submitted by /u/Sqib000 to r/cats [link] [comments]

I’m on my third fountain and losing my damn mind lol. My cat is a pretty good drinker even from a bowl, but I think she prefers the fountain. My issue is that I haven’t been able to find one that doesn’t get gross quickly. Started with a plastic fountain, switched to stainless steel so it could go in the dishwasher/less microplastics, that’s helped some but not entirely. I change the water out daily using filtered water (dump it out and entirely refill). Her fountain gets a deep clean every week where the dishwasher safe parts go through a sanitizing cycle. Everything else I meticulously hand wash, including taking the pump apart and cleaning the tiny crevices (I’m a lab scientist, so I’m relatively confident I’m doing a good job cleaning). Everything is allowed to air dry before reassembly, and I change the filter every 2 weeks. Even with this, there is some black gunk build up, and even a day or two with some minor error like an improperly installed filter leads to major mold. I’ve had to toss and repurchase plastic parts multiple times for this reason. Is there ANY fountain that doesn’t have so many tiny, mold-prone parts???? Has anyone found a cleaning frequency that mitigates this? I’m sure if I did a daily deep clean this would be less of an issue, but Christ that’s a lot of work for a 10% increase in fluid intake.

After doing some research, I’m now in the final selection of choosing a water fountain for my cat. Before I make my decision, I’d love to hear some input! Qualities I’m Looking For: longevity (as bifl as possible) easy to clean looks nice (not necessary, but something I’d like) preferably under $60 submitted by /u/Berry_Darrel8338 to r/BuyItForLife [link] [comments]
