Many festive salutations to you all. Looking for recommendations for cat water fountain, preferably battery operated. Little dickheads keep knocking over their glasses and didn't like drinking from a bowl, preferring to dunk their head in my bedside pint glass at 3 in the morning. Budget: quick look at pets at home and they seem to fall in £50-75 range, which would be fine. Bonus points for fitting in with the black, white and stainless steel theme we've got going Thanks
We've just got one of those plug in pet mate ones. Still working after a year or two, a battery one though - do they exist? That'd be handy. I think I've seen her use it once, maybe twice but it's there for if we're out of a while. Same though, ours prefers to drink out of cups little bugger thankfully she doesn't spanner them about.
We tried a fountain with our two cats, the timid one was scared of it, the alpha ignored it. We gave up after a few months of them not using it and reverted to 3 strategically placed glasses dotted around the house. They have to be the same glasses we use, they won't go near bowls. They know exactly where they are and even make a fuss with us when they need topping up. Cats are wierd like that. They have their humans trained to their liking.
We have a USB powered 'flower' fountain for our cat, she drinks more than she would from a bowl. It needs washing regularly as we're in a really hard water area, plus regular filter changes. She's also partial to the kitchen tap left running gently every few days... It's lasted a couple of years and we'd have another. As it's USB, you could run it off a powerbank or rotating 2 of them?
Thanks all. Much to think about. Might find a solution to the tipping glasses, some sort of stabilisation ring.
