Best Stainless Steel Quiet Cat Water Fountain

  • I recently got a pet water fountain for Caymus due to his renal disease and constant thirst. Actually, I bought one right when it started, when a friend said that her Ragdolls liked. He was scared of it. So I returned it - thanks, Amazon Prime.
    And then a few weeks ago, a guy was commenting on a number of our CZcams videos about cat water fountains, and he was saying how his cat couldn't stay away from this one that he had purchased. So I bought it. And also, I could always return it. Turns out, it's been a hit.
    Although it has a flower thing to disperse the water like a fountain, you can remove it and just use it as a bubbler cat drinking fountain. It seems like Caymus and Murphy both prefer a bubbler fountain.
    Although this one is plastic, it has a stainless steel top - so their chin, if it hits, hits that. And as the guy I was commenting back and forth with on CZcams about fountains said - "You cannot avoid plastic in water fountains." It's in every single one.
    My parents also have a 3-year old German Shepherd, he can drink from it too because it's just plugged in in my parents' bathroom. But he doesn't have any interest in it - maybe because the drinking reservoir is so shallow?

      Hi. My cat also had health issues and you may want to try this. Animals cannot process the minerals or toxins in tap water. Vets will tell you this is not true but they either don’t know or don’t want to know. And most filters cannot filter properly. You may want to try fully purified drinking water (I get mine by the gallon at Walmart.
      It’s filtered by reverse osmosis and called Great Value Purified Drinking Water). This healed not only mine but both my cats health issues. There is quite an epidemic out there of human and animal health issues being caused by the tap or bottled water.

    I bought a different version of this water fountain for my 19 yr old Ragdoll, Gunnar, who battled Stage 4 Renal disease this summer. He lost his battle this past Wed. 9/9 😭. Gunnar loved the water fountain so much that even when he stopped eating the last 2 days, he would still sit and drink a lot of water from the fountain. He sat because he was unable to stand for long at that point. Our fountain was square and all plastic. I used the daisy accessory which was the only one included. Fortunately Gunnar never had chin acne in his life. Gunnar's favorite place in the world to nap all day was my screened in deck. I always put his fountain out there as well as a litter box. He communicated with me that it was time to let go the day before he went to Rainbow Bridge (besides not eating) by not wanting to be outside on the deck. He used to meow at the door and scratch on it daily telling me he wanted out there. He didn't do that that day. So I carried him out there to help him. He came straight to the door to want back in. He definitely was communicating with me. I miss him SO MUCH. I still expect to see him come around the corner of the room each morning. Gunnar was my last if 3 Ragdoll. Bet breed of cat Hands Down!!! Caymus still looks really good and is getting around great. I'm happy for him, your parents and you. (By the way, I don't live far from KC. I'm in St. Louis).

      I’m so very sorry. I lost Prince very suddenly and thought he was a ragdoll. Looked a lot like ones in the video. I always described him as a dogcat. He was so friendly and smart. Followed me everywhere, came when called(almost always) and wouldn’t mind if other cats hissed at him. He’s just ignore it. Slept on my chest every night. Was very cute and very difficult to sleep after he passed. I feel like he was Himalayan but not positive. He was a rescue and I never knew his breed for certain.

    Thank you for showing this drinking fountain. My little girl Zarrah Rose is a little grey rescue I recently adopted and she is 11 years old. I'm trying to get her to drink more water and she loves the water faucet in the tub if I turn it on real slowly. She has two bowls of water but she likes running water the best. This video was helpful and especially the part where you show the flowers and the different water streams that come down. She likes the water to come out in a stream like that. You also said it is quiet which is a good feature because she is kind of sensitive to sounds and gets scared easily. Best of all it's affordable! Thanks again for the review and your kitties are beautiful.🥰🐾 I just went to Amazon and they said it is unavailable.

    I have two of this type of fountain and have been using them for about 4 months.
    Mine have the little indicator light that’s blue for good and it turns red and shuts off the pump if the water gets too low. It works fine and if you keep it filled to the upper level it is soundless, even when using the yellow flower- which my two kittens seem to like. It is easy to clean and comes with cleaning brushes too.
    I don’t use the filters ( I am not sure what chemicals are in them ) and use bottled spring water instead.

      @@Floppycats If the water is constantly flowing and being moved through the filter, assuming it's a clean filter, isn't that quite a bit different than stagnant water left overnight in a glass? I am picking up my first Ragdoll kitty in a couple of days and have also bought a fountain. It's a little different but same principle. So since I haven't used it yet, I'm not sure. But it seemed to me that water through a fountain will stay fresher than water sitting in a bowl. My dogs always just drank from a bowl and I would change that each morning and night so changing water isn't an issue. I'm sort of equating it with my fish tank filters which draw water through them constantly, removing impurities, waste, etc and returning cleaner water to the tank. Then weekly or bi-weekly, I clean filters and change half the tank water.

Not sure if it was defective...he liked it but it didn't work so great. Now we have a different one, even with frequent cleaning and filter changing it gets yucky carbon smudges. And he will use it for only a few days after the fresh filter is added. Plus it doesn't have a window to see the water level. Going to give this one a go. 😊

      The cat isn't getting the minerals it should with osmosis water, as all the minerals are removed.

I'd rather put up with cleaning their water containers with vinegar to remove the mineral buildup, than leave them mineral deprived.

    I will add this here too so everyone sees it. Hi. My cat and myself also had health issues and you may want to try this. Animals cannot process the minerals or toxins in tap water. Vets will tell you this is not true but they either don’t know or don’t want to know.
    And most filters like water pitcher filters (besides Zero Water, it works), fridge dispenser filters, fountain filters and most others cannot filter properly. You may want to try fully purified drinking water (I get mine by the gallon at Walmart. It’s filtered by reverse osmosis and called Great Value Purified Drinking Water). NOT spring water, or bottled water. It must test less than 10ppm on a little TDS meter which you can get for less than $20 anywhere online.
    This healed not only mine but both my cats health issues. There is quite an epidemic out there of human and animal health issues being caused by the tap or bottled water. I live in a good area and the tap water should be good.
    Unfortunately, there is no place on Earth who’s tap water is good anymore. Marco, my cat had FIC back in the summer. When I asked the vet if the water in my home could cause it he said no. But when I got home I switched his water and he never had another episode. Stress supposedly causes it but he is no less stressed out now.
    It’s worth it to try this for a few months to fully be sure that it’s not the water. Because the water will cause all kinds of other health issues in humans and all animals as well. Be sure to not let them drink out of the toilet either. Toilet water is very hard and is terrible for animals. This can be found online. I came across a bunch of information about cases of FIC being much higher in areas with hard water.

    How much water do you put in? The directions say to fill the bowl to a half in from the top and to not get the cord wet. If I fill the bottom bowl, then the cord and what it’s connected to go underwater. Is that right?

    • @Floppycats
      @Floppycats  Před 3 lety

      I think I filled it about half way.

    Are those Himalayan cats? I lost my cat last Summer very suddenly and he was a rescue. I never knew exactly what he was but he looked a lot like your cats. Bigger than the average cat and super friendly and intelligent. There’s 3 breeds that look very similar. I just want to get the same breed as I miss him so much

      sorry to hear about your Summer. No, these are Ragdoll cats. If you send me an email (see my channel's about section) - I can take a look at Summer's photo and make my best guess.

    What is the height of this one? My 10 yr old cat is not drinking much water for a while. So I found Wonder Creature's fountain, the square one, Looks same as this one and little reasonable for me. But not sure if the height will be appropriate for him.

    I have an 18 year old cat who still drinks from the toilet and her vet said she has renal disease (kidney failure)😢. I’m shopping around for a fountain. I think the metal one would be great for her. My other cat doesn’t care where her water comes from. Lady Bugs is very picky though. She won’t eat the kidney wet food so I still feed her Fancy Feast to keep her happy. She eats the kidney dry food. Do you have any food suggestions?

    • @Floppycats
      @Floppycats  Před 3 lety

      sorry to hear about your kitty. has the veterinarian recommended giving her fluids? that's the biggest thing for a renal cat in my opinion. food suggestions - it comes down to what the cat will eat - this group on facebook has great recommendations - facebook.com/groups/felinecrf - dry food won't help her kidneys much though - she's already dehydrated, so if you can avoid dry food, all the better. all that is explained in the group. but really it comes down to the individual cat.

    • @Floppycats
      @Floppycats  Před 3 lety +1

      I just cleaned it for the first time this weekend. However, we change out the water daily, which would change how often you clean it. There’s a lot of factors that would go into how often to clean it. But manufacturer says every two weeks. And then replace the filter. But literally took me maybe 5 minutes?

    • @Floppycats
      @Floppycats  Před 3 lety +1

      Maybe fill it up, but turn it off. So just let it be a water bowl. And once he’s used to that, turn it on to use? Also, try moving it to a different spot? Can you play with him near it? I’d need to see what he’s doing to think of what to try. But you might try all of those and it might still not work. So you might need to return eventually.
