I read once that a lot of cats develop kidney problems from lack of drinking water.

This is a good idea. I have learned so much about proper cat care from Minichan. Truly the greatest Web site of all time.

It’s because they don’t like still water and most pet owners just give them water in a bowl so they end up not drinking from them unless they are really thirsty

That’s why they sell those terrible electric water things that have a small waterfall

Mine will follow me into the kitchen and then jump up and stare at the faucet until I turn it on so they can drink from it.

I don't get this though. If I were a cat I'd rather have a bowl that was changed daily than some fountain bullshit that was changed less frequently than that 🤔

they don't hold that much more water and they are usually filtered

the filter is just to keep the pump operating, really

why does a pump need a charcoal filter

so you feel the need to keep buying replacements instead of just rinsing it off, most likely
