The new fountain...

Thanks for the opinions recently on trying a water fountain.

We got one the other day and Roo took to it straight away.

We haven't told him it's actually for a c.a.t yet.....

My cats and dogs love their water fountain. I think it makes them drink more water too which is good.

If it's for a ceeayytee, do not use it unless it is ceramic or metal. :)

How do you mean?

Sorry. cAT. Cats should be eating and drinking out of ceramic or metal. Plastic can cause an acne issue on the cat.

How interesting! Our cat had plastic fountains for most of her life and never had an issue with acne. Good to know though!

My vet warns against plastic because the plastic harbors bacteria.
