So not about food per se, but water is so important to a healthy cat...
My Deluxe Fresh Flow Water Fountain finally kicked the bucket after 6 years. It cracked along the bottom and just leaks so I'm going to have to replace it. What I loved about it was the deep well at the base, and the "slide" the water could run down to minimize noise. What I hated - cleaning it! So many pieces that had to fit just so and be taken apart. It was a headache! And with my cats being long haired the pump would often get clogged and the whole thing would have to be taken apart to get the water to flow correctly again.
So I've been shopping around for some new fountains (my cats prefer running water to bowls of water) and have kind of come up with three I'm interested in. I would love to know if any of you have had experience with these or if you know of an even better water fountain for cats.
Option A: Drinkwell 360 fountain - supposed to be easy to clean, but is it noisy?
Option B: Cat It fountain - looks a little small and not thrilled about attached cat food bowl.
Option C: The Bubbler Cat Waterer - doesn't appear to filter the water.
Any advice would be great!
