Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have 4 cats, prior to buying this fountain I had housed a large 'automatic' water dispenser from Petsmart. It was a plastic upside-down jug that held a lot of water and required little maintenance, however my cats were not drinking much from it. They would try to drink from any cups I was using or get into the sinks. I was concerned they were not getting enough hydration and didn't want any urinary tract problems to develop, a friend who is also a cat-owner had similar issues with his 3 cats and recommended a fountain kin to this one but it had some bad reviews online. After some research, I took my chances on the PetSafe Drinkwell fountain and I'm happy I did! My cats have never been so interested in drinking water from their own bowl! Setting it up was easy and took all of 5 minutes (the hardest part was cutting the tape off the shipping box lol). Three of my cats were instantly drawn to the water fountain. My most cautious kitty (not pictured) was a little more reluctant but once he saw the others drinking, it was favorited right away. The water fountain has been out of the box for about an hour and they're still hovering by it! I did set a pretty towel underneath the fountain, the moving water was tempting to play with and there were some splashes but I suspect after the new-ness of the object wears off, the cats will ignore this as a play thing and only drink from it. Even if they paw at the water occasionally, little sprinkles of wet on the floor are well worth knowing that my cats are hydrated and have a fresh, circulated water source.
