Cat it Water Fountain

When Igot mine it did that. I had put the filter in the wrong place. It goes right inside the base not in the rim where it looks as if it aught to go.

Mine did that at first too. It takes a while for it to cover the whole dome. You can touch the other side of the dome near the top at the water to start another stream.

Do you have a link with more info on the Cat It? I'm assuming that's a specific brand? My cats will only drink out of drinking glasses left all over the house so I'd like to look into a fountain.

I had one too and the cats loved it, but it was one pain in the neck to take care of. I spent more time on the fountain than I did the kitty litter box.

I just got one of these too. One cat loves it, the other's not so sure. I like how quiet it is. The water only came out one side at first too. I moved it around and touched all over the dome, and now it's coming out evenly all over the dome.
I do find that I've got to keep it full up or else you can hear the motor running.

Just purchased one at pets mart. I noticed the other day that his water bowl would get a slimy bottom even though I am rinsing it twice a day! The house is dark all day while we are at work and the water in the dish is not circulating.

Hagen makes the Cat it. Hagen also makes top of the line aquarium pumps and filters (have all hagens on my 110 gallon tank). So when I noticed they were making this one, the pump has to be good.

Ok, set up the fountain last night and after a couple of half hearted pounces, Pooh drinks like crazy! Pooh really loves the water coming down the dome, she doesnt bother with the bowl part. Cant seem to get the water over the entire dome, but it covers better then half.

I didnt know that cats have a natural attraction to running water. This is probably why cats drink from faucets and baths. The fountain does the trick.

How much do these babies run?

If you rub it hard it will run down the other side (and make sure the floor is level, gravity will effect it obviously) I did find mine ran a lot better with the mat than without it.

Mine was $35 Canadian (but I know they sell cheaper ones without the extra water bowl - its just the dome) and sometimes you see the dog ones on sale more than the cats ones - they are identical save the different colours! so you can save that way too.

Purchased mine at petsmart which is always expensive. $41.00. I believe that Dr. Fosters and Smith has it for $30.00.

I just bought one of these today as a gift for a friend's cats. Boy, you really do have to fill it up to make sure you get water over the dome. I filled the reservoir according to the directions and was only getting a small bit flowing over the dome. I finally added water to the base manually, instead of letting it flow throough the reservoir. That really helped.

i had one, that i bought through www.petfooddirect.com if you watch for their 20% off coupons, you can get a real deal on the fountain through them. it didn't even cost $30 for it (including shipping).

i gave it away because i didn't like it. it was a pain to clean, and the filters didn't last long no matter what i did. the filters work great, but cost alot to replace.

i just went back to ceramic bowls with filtered water. the cats are fine with the situation.

I didn't have that issue with ours. I do notice that sometimes the bottom gets slimy. I clean it once every two days and change the filter once a week.

I got mine off ebay new and still in the box for about $9 or so.

I had one for a while, but the dog liked it a little too much and knocked the globe off the base and broke it.

I didn't know that you could get dog ones.
Whats the name of them?

Dogit...they're the same with a red top. They might be a bit bigger (haven't actually seen them in person).

Thank you.. I would like a bit larger one for lady and boogie

Its actually the exact same just all the stuff for dogs is red and all the stuff for cats is blue.

My CatIt just died so I am looking for something else - 2 in a year is a little too expensive
