Which is Best for Your Cat? Water Bowls vs Fountains

I discuss the pros and cons of cat water fountains and regular cat dishes. None of my 7 cats showed up for the video recording, so I pretended to be a cat at the end.

It's good to have both. We have a basic Drinkwell fountain and 3 water bowls of different materials.

Oh my god that ending was incredible, thank you much for the advice!

[@Thejoyofcats]

You’re welcome! I had to rewatch to see what happened at the end 😂

...and then there's cats who insist on drinking from a running faucet. 😻😽

I have 6 cats I couldn't run the kitchen sink without having at least 3 jump up n stare making me feel guilty that I didn't stop n let them have a free for all. I'm not a big temu fan but their cat stuff which I have ordered a lot I can say out of 100% I have been satisfied 85% n I got a fountain shaped just like a sink n it's next to my sink now I don't have be scared to make icecubes😂❤

Cats in nature only drink running water so your cat will drink more with a fountain thus helping to prevent kidney disease from too much dry cat food.

Before I switched to a fountain, my cat was notorious for knocking over her water bowls(even the supposed “no-tip” one, which she flipped over completely). I recently upgraded to the Petlibro Dockstream fountain; it’s super easy to set up and clean, plus there’s a battery base so you don’t have to keep it near an outlet. There are also lights to tell you when you need to charge it or add water, and I believe it shuts off completely if the water level gets too low.

The Dockstream sounds like a great option. I wasn’t aware of battery operated models. Thank you for sharing.
