anyone know of an eletric Cat Water Fountain that works?
 
boy I just shopped online for my cats to find an electric water fountain but to no avail. I keep reading the reviews and nothing seems good. water splashes onto the floor, noisy, etc. Anyone know of a good one? I have three cats and one that loves to sit and watch her water bowl!

All of the big chain pet stores sell them. In-store and on-line. We have this one that I purchased on eBay -

I prefer to have the stainless steel or ceramic, so that it can be sterilized every couple of weeks.

How about one of those water falls for relaxation? My kids got one and their dogs live it.

We have a plastic model from a pet supply store. Sat it in a plastic boot tray along with the food dish. It dosen't leak but the cats a messy critter! The only time I hear it is when the water container is a little loose.

well my big girl is absolutely enamored with water. I have one that has a large plastic container that goes upside down on the bowl. I usually don't fill that though, just the bowl. Rosie sits and stares at it. puts her paw in it, under it, what ever she can. spills it too. I fill it in front of her and she swaps her paw at my glass of water. I thought she might like a steady stream of water, but not one that spills on the floor. I must be careful so my Husband doesn't slip on it during the night when he raids the kitchen.

We had several and the cats did not like it...but they do drink out of the water fountains that I have but they are not made for the kitties.

My cats like to play in the water dish. Had to put it inside a small litter box to catch all the overflow.
Have an electric water fountain dish but don't use it anymore. Too much hassel to keep clean and they also played in it.

This is the one we have. Works great, no spilling.

Sophie loves a flushing toilet. She is the only cat I have know that you call by opening the back door and flushing the toilet. She leaps up onto the seat and tries to bet the water.

We had a decorative fountain that the cats liked, but it was a gift and the giver was upset that the cats were using it. We had put it down on the floor at cat level. We bought one of the Pet ones, but it was really bulky took up too much room, so we got rid of it.
