Two facts about cats that you will probably know (if you have cats) but you should know (if you are planning on adopting a cat: they prefer their food bowl and water bowl in separate places, and many cats prefer to drink from running water (tap or fountain) as it resembles drinking from a running spring in the wild.
Moreno in particular loves running water and will sit in the bathroom meowing until we turn the tap on, even though he has access to two PetSafe Fountains and a Water Fountain in the garden. Still he is over 15 now and he has always got what he wanted so not going to change now.
The other cats (12 of them) are happy with the Pet Fountain, although the brothers like the tap in the kitchen. We have gone through a few fountains over the years and in general it has been the motors that have either packed up, or most often, got clogged up too quickly.
To date we have had no clogging issues with the PetSafe thanks to the sponge which sits around the motor and traps the hairs very well.
Another issue we have had with previous fountains which have had several component parts is that they move and either the water stops running, or the water spills.
Again no such issues.
The PetSafe is easy to clean but it does tend to get a sort of calcified scum on it which doesn’t come off with normal dishwashing or the dishwasher, but if you scrape it gently with the edge of a knife of the appliance you use to clean the top of a oven plate it comes off easily enough and makes no marks.
Gets our vote. Most importantly it gets the votes of all the cats.
