Great buy!
All six of my cats use and love this as I do because it's so simple to clean and take apart.
I had another one by a different manufacturer in the past which looked nicer but was a nightmare for me and the cats. It's still new in the shed but I'm about to buy another Drinkwell only because we have hard water and the first was so successful for all of us. Highly recomended.

A Great Investment!!
My kitten loves water - he would jump up to the kitchen sink when I was washing up, come into the shower when it was running, drink from bathroom taps and hang around when I was outside filling up a watering can - I bought this to stop him trying to drink soapy water out of the washing up bowl and the shower. He loves it - the running water fascinates him and encouages him to drink more which is important for cats - it makes hardly any noise as I have it on a piece of carpet so there is no vibration. Easy to clean, the water keeps cool even in summer! Fantastic, I would highly recommend it - it's stopped him drinking from the taps and washing up water!

This is great!
Bought this a few months back as my cat had a tendency to sit in the bathroom sink and lick away at the tap so thought this would be ideal for him and i was right! My cat wasn't too sure to begin with but with in a few days he started usng it and he just loves it now. He sits in front of it to wait for me to turn it on for him! And its very easy to take apart and clean and put back together too. :o)

A MUST for multi-pet households...
Water fountains are so hygienic and they truly give peace of mind. With 7 cats, the alternative would be to leave a few water bowls around, not practical and there is always the risk of them being knocked over and the cats going thirtsy when we're out! With the fountain, water is always available, and because of the carbon filter, always clean! It needs washing once every week or two, and it shouldn't be left in strongly lit areas to avoid green algae formations. I had one for a year and a half and it never had a problem. Drinkwell is the only brand that lets the water cascade, something my cats like. And last, cats might need a few days to get used to the idea, but once they do they won't do without! Vets recommend it to fight kidney problems esp. in male cts, as they end up drinking much more.

Our three couldn't be less interested
I've had this running in my kitchen for about a week now. Our three cats could not be less interested. If anything, one of them is positively scared of the noise (it makes more noise than the fridge or the freezer). It's a shame, because they all need to drink more water; but this has been a complete waste of money. I'll leave it running for another week, and then stick it on freecycle.

My kittys love it!
All six of my cats use this and love it.
I had another water fountain in the past which was a nightmare to take apart and clean but this is so easy it's done in minutes!

Love it!
My norwegian forest cat just fell in love with this fountain! She started to use it immediately. My other cat didn't like it at the beginning but about one week later she also started to use the fountain. I just bought another one drinking fountain to our home. Now I'm sure that my cats are living a bit healthier life :)

Cat loves it
My cat loves this fountain - I suspected he would, since he loves running water - but the last fountain I bought him he absolutely hated.
This one flows the way a tap does, and that's what he likes.
It is a little noisier than I would have liked, but it keeps the cat happy (and out of my sink) so I'm happy!

Oh well.
I too thought my two cats would delight in having their own fountain, but they are seriously non-plussed about this. Sounds like some cats adore it while others simply ignore it. It was worth a try and will stay down for a few weeks longer in case they change their fickle little minds, but they seems happy with a bowl of water in the sink (go figure!).

Super buy!
I bought this for my Two Norweigan forest cat kittens. I brought them home when they were 15wks old and they started drinking from it straight away - they love it. However at times it is a source of amusement for them and they do play with the running water - the worst that has happened is a wet nose and paws - very funny to watch. I am very confident that it stable enough that it could never be tipped over by them. A great buy for your cat :-)

A MUST FOR ALL CAT LOVERS!!
This an absolutely great way to provide fresh clean water every day for your pets. No risk of them tipping the water bowl over when you're out and having no water available.
My cats weren't interested at first, but by now they're shocked when it's off!! It has to be cleaned weekly, and it's also useful in avoiding kidney stones as the cats drink more. Unless you live near a mountain stream, consider getting one!

Ding dong dell, kitty loves her well.
I've got three kitties, two of them use the fountain. One started using it almost immediately, but it was about a month before the second kitty started to use it. It has been an invaluable addition and saves me dozens of trips to the bathroom! I used to have to lift kitty in and out of the bath, so she could drink from a running tap. She's an old lady (19 years) her kidneys don't work so well; access to running water, means she doesn't have to rely on me all the time. Kitty happy; me happy!

Great for my cats!!!
I bought 3 of these as i have 6 litters of kittens at the moment as well as my 12 cats.
none of the cats or kittens are scared of flowing water and always protect it.
even my dog manages to sneak some of the cats' water as he loves it too!!!
I think i'll buy him one.

Cats love it! Easy to clean, and easy to refill.
This is a great product, far better than its rivals. My cats love the free-falling waterfall, and paws are known to have a dabble in it! It's easy to clean, filters water efficiently, and you can get extra capacity reservoirs of 1.5l or 2l to add on to it, which I find I need for 4 cats. As it recycles and filters the water, I'm not forever chucking water away and refilling bowls, so it's a water-saver too.

best buy I ever made
My cat loves her Drinkwell fountain. She has scorned every toy I ever bought her, but the fountain was a major success. She not only drinks from it but spends hours lying beside it, watching the waterfall. As a result I haven't had the heart to move the fountain from the nice warm carpeted hall, where I originally plugged it in temporarily, to the kitchen where I intended its permanent home to be as soon as I had sorted out the electrics there. It's easy to clean too.

Drinkwell fountain
Good value for money, five out of my seven cats are now drinking from it instead of the bath tap or the pond outside. I have had other types of drinking fountains for my cats before, but this seems the most popular with the furry ones.
