Cat water fountains

My sons cats have always had one, they use it fine.
My two cats, one like to drink from the bathroom tap and the other from the Plant saucers under the plants. I can win on this..
So in hot summers we leave bowls of water around the garden for the cats and other animals who fancy a drink.
The fresh water I always put out never touched! And it's away from their food.
So might be worth a go? Good luck

My cats won’t drink from a water dish in the back hallway where they are fed, but are entirely happy to drink from the dogs’ ceramic water bowls upstairs and downstairs, and from the various bird baths around the garden.

Ours had a Cat Mate fountain, bought on the advice of our vet when one of them showed symptoms of early kidney problems. We were really surprised that all three used it from day one. Until then they’d just ignored the clean water put out in bowls for them every day, and only drank out of puddles, seemingly the muddier the better. The Cat Mate was cheap enough and easy to clean. Its filters had to be changed regularly, but that was no big deal. I hope you find something that suits your cat, Kitty. They’re such contrary critters, aren’t they?

Have glanced at this thread a few times thinking it said ‘car water fountains’ imagining cars are becoming so big they now have water features 🫣

I haven’t read the thread, so sorry if I’m repeating. I am very careful to ensure my little cat gets as much fluid as I can get into her. So she has bowls of water in every room in the house plus a water fountain, which she definitely prefers. If I think she isn’t drinking enough I add a teaspoon or so to her wet food the make extra gravy. She likes that.

I also keep her water away from her feeding station and of course her litter tray. Apparently cats won’t drink from water near their food in the wild because of contamination.

So many cats seem to suffer from kidney disease. So I’m doing what I can to avoid this.

Here's the one I got my girls kittylester from Amazon:

For two reasons, their water bowls always looked full as if they weren't drinking from them, and the unusually hot summers. Betty took to it right away, took a while for Tillie though bless her.
I hope your lil one recovers well and you find the right water path for them

Meant to say as well, it's really easy to set up, keep the water topped up, change the water every 2 weeks, strip down, clean and change the filter every 4 weeks. Not at all complicated or else I would be tearing my hair out as I'm easily confused these days

Ours wouldn’t drink from his! So we gave it to a friend for their cats who use it just fine. When we had our last cat who wasn’t great at drinking, the vet advised us to not put the water bowl near the food bowl and this worked for that cat. Current cat drinks from his water bowl near the food bowl.

My rescue cat refused to drink from the water fountain I bought her but drank from any glass of water left around so I gave her her own half pint glass.

My cat wouldn't drink out of a water bowl and didn't like the water fountain. He used to like taking a drink from a glass of water I had got for myself so I used to leave glasses of water around for him.
