I recently bought my cat a fancy new water fountain, hoping it would encourage them to drink more. Well, much to my dismay, they're completely refusing the whole thing! They stick to their old bowl, even though it's not nearly as appealing. I've tried different tricks – changing the source, adding some enhancers, even cleaning the fountain extra thoroughly. Nothing seems to make a difference. I'm starting to think my cat is just too set in their ways.
Fountain Fail: My Kitty Friend Won't Touch It
I bought a fancy new fountain for my buddy, thinking it would be the cat's meow to his thirst. He had to drinking from the toilet, which was unappealing. I figured a flowing water source would be more attractive. Boy, was I wrong! He just sniffs at it with disgust, and then walks away for a nap. My little water hater obviously prefers the porcelain throne.
- Maybe that he's just a creature of habit?
- Or maybe the fountain is just too noisy for his delicate sensitivity.
Whatever the cause, I'm left with a pricey, unused fountain and a cat who remains to drink from the toilet. At least it's hilarious.

Many Cats Dislike Moving H2O
Cats are known for their love of naps, playing toys, and generally being aloof. However, one thing that seems to frighten most felines is flowing water. Whether it's a dripping faucet, a bubbling aquarium, or even just a puddle on the floor, cats often seem to fear getting near it. Some veterinarians believe this aversion stems from their instinct to hunt small creatures, and that the unpredictable movement of water tricks their natural hunting abilities. Others suggest it's simply a matter of texture, as cats prefer solid surfaces for walking. Whatever the reason, it's clear that for many cats, water is not their favorite thing.
