I have two Maine Coons, Phoebe and Ophelia, who prefer 'fresh' water straight out of the faucet. The problem was, they are big and the faucets were short and small. They had to practically turn their heads upside down to get the little stream of water out the faucet. So I put in new faucets - the kind that come up and over in an arch. Now they can get their fresh water right out of the sink with having to be contortionists. (They each have their own designated sink in the bathroom - they graciously allow me to brush my teeth using one of the sinks when they are done.) Are they worth it? You betcha!
