Top 4 Best Rated Cat Water Fountains (February 2021)
Cat Water Fountains
Ever noticed how your cat seems to prefer drinking from the toilet than its own water bowl? This is partly because moving water is better oxygenated than still water. Oxygenated water tastes fresher and is consequently more appealing to cats. Cat drinking fountains are a great alternative to toilet water. Below we have put together a table of the best cat fountains currently available for purchase online, beneath the table you can find a review of each one.
- Pioneer Pet Raindrop Fountain - The most popular of our cat water fountains with previous customers.
- Drinkwell 360 Pet Fountain - 360 Degree access means this cat water fountain is perfect for houses with multiple cats.
- PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain - Larger than most cat water fountains so perfect if you have both cats and dogs.
- Catit Flower Fountain - Certainly the cutest cat water fountain we have reviewed to date. Functionally it's very good so don't overlook it simply because you think it might be rookie league.

If you have cats that like to play with their water, or who are determined to take things apart (we all know cats like that!) you may wish to go with the heavier ceramic version. Otherwise, given the large number of positive reviews for the stainless steel model, we have no hesitation in recommending this cat water drinking fountain.
