I recently purchased 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 prefer their old bowl, even though it's not nearly as stylish. I've tried all sorts of things – changing the source, adding some treats, even cleaning the fountain extra meticulously. Nothing seems to make a difference. I'm starting to think my cat is just too stubborn.
Fountain Fail: My Feline Friend Won't Touch It
I bought a fancy new fountain for my buddy, thinking it would be the purrfect solution to his thirst. He used to drinking from the toilet, which was gross. I figured a flowing water source would be so much better. 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.
- Could it be that he's just a creature of habit?
- Perhaps the fountain is just too noisy for his delicate hearing.
Whatever the explanation, I'm left with a pricey, unused fountain and a cat who persists to drink from the toilet. At least it's hilarious.

Numerous 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 fountain, or even just a puddle on the floor, cats often seem to disapprove of getting near it. Some cat lovers believe this aversion stems from their instinct to capture small prey, and that the unpredictable movement of water confounds their natural hunting instincts. 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.
