Catit2.0 Mini Flower Drinking Fountain – Cat Water Fountain with Triple Filter and Ergonomic Drinking Options,Green

I accidentally bought the smaller one. The cat could drink it dry in 1 1/2 days. It had a loud machine noise that scared the cat. Buy the 2 liter, you'll be happier. I originally bought this water fountain because our cat would not drink out of a bowl. She would only drink out of the kitchen sink. It also had to be a certain flow and hit a certain spot. It was maddening. It sat there at first but then she uses it all the time and hasn't been near the sink in a long time

Buy this for your cat's health NOT to make your life easier. Don't buy it as a means to provide water for days rather than just filling a bowl. I rinse the fountain and change the water every 2-3 days to avoid slime, crud and calcium accumulations. Wait longer than that and you'll definitely start seeing stuff. Would you drink water out of a tub on the floor just because it swirls around?The replaceable filter is effective at keeping large pieces of debris out of the pump. Don't think of it as a Brita filter. It's more like a cheap, see-through furnace filter but only about 1/8" thick. There's hardly enough activated charcoal in the wafer-thin filter layer to purify a glass of water let alone 1.5 liters continuously. I replace the filter weekly with these lower-priced but effective filters https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0VO1QWI give the whole unit a thorough cleaning weekly. There are numerous nooks and crannies that you'll need a small brush to clean effectively. Take the pump apart to remove debris not caught by the filter and other accumulating gook. There are small diameter tubes in the pump and flower stem that require tiny brushes to cleanout. This set of brushes works for all parts of the fountain just fine: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BC4TK2TDon't forget to clean the portion of the power cord that goes through the water to the pump. It starts getting slimy too. If your cat or kitten likes to play with wires and strings you'll need to secure the power wire from the fountain to the electric outlet. My 6-month-old kitten Kiwi pulled straight up on the power cord to disassemble the fountain and dump it. I put a small plastic conduit around the power cord and secured it down with double-stick tape.Kiwi loves the fountain and is definitely drinking more water. Plan on scooping your litter box more frequently.5-stars because it works so well for its intended purpose. My three prior cats developed kidney disease resulting in huge medical expenses and shortened lives. It's worth the $s and effort to acquire and maintain the Catit to head off those kind of problems.

It took about 1.5 week for my cat to get used to this fountain. I was about to return it but suddenly I see him use it! He likes it now and no longer afraid of it haha he really took his time with this. The only complaint I have is that it's loud for me so it's a lot louder for my outdoor cat. I have it placed on my porch. I first left out just the container so he could get used to it then after he was fully comfortable with it, I added the motor, filter, lid, flower and turned it on. We're both happy with it.—-Update: my outdoor cat is now indoors and so is this fountain. I have his food and water in my room due to lack of space so I hear the fountain even if I cover my ears with my pillow lol. It’s rather annoying. Plus the even louder rattling noise when the water level isn’t enough, I have to add water to it everyday which is getting annoying. But because my cat likes it, I’ll leave it at 4 stars.—-Update: my cat has been inside with us for 6 months now and neighbors are complaining they can’t sleep because of the humming of the fountain. I tried placing thick mats on the floor under it but they can still hear it. My cat loves to drink out of this and when I tried switching back to bowl/cup, he did not drink for days. I had to plug it back in during the day. I tried putting it on top of a high box but it was still loud. Is there any surface that can lessen the humming? My baby needs to drink!

My second one! Our "Jade" just loves it!!
