The problem with cats is they naturally seek out a source of running water. Well, thankfully pet fountains have come on the market in recent years, and these have been very helpful in getting our pets enough water. After all, if they are given what they want, why would they drink what they don't really want. The consequences of any pet not drinking enough water are bad enough, but cat kidney problems are well documented.

Some pet owners make matter worse by willingly turning on a faucet whenever the cat jumps onto the counter and purrs. If you are a pet owner, particularly a cat owner, you know how important it is for your pet to drink plenty of water. This particular fountain is made by Pioneer pets, and they seem to. In other words they train their cats to drink nothing but running water. There are a lot of different pet water fountains on the market, but the one that seems to rise to the top in popularity is the stainless steel pet fountain.

In some cases they will simply not drink from a water bowl if the water is not moving.
