Catit PIXI Cat Water Fountain – Triple Filtration & Ergonomic Design for Healthy Hydration (White, Pink, Green, or Stainless Steel)

I have an older cat and really wanted to get a water fountain in the hope she would drink more. I needed something that would be really quiet since she dislikes strange noises, was easy to clean, and had a metal drinking base. After looking at several models I ordered this super cute Catit Pixi fountain. Setting it up was easy and I love that the filter is secured into place. While it's easy to see the red light, meaning low on water, seeing the fill line is difficult. I have adjusted to seeing the fill line when I stand back from the fountain. It does hold quite a bit of water. It's also extremely quiet, the only noise you hear is the sound of the water streaming out of the spout hitting the metal. When I called my cat over and said look at what you got, she splashed her paw in it. She has never done this before. She didn't go near it for several days so I started the process of training her to use it. I began unplugging for periods of time during which she would drink out of it, then plugging in it. Now it's plugged in all the time and she drinks from it constantly. I waited until I needed to do a filter change to post this review. Again, it was easy to clean and change the filter. The pump didn't need to pulled apart but I did rinse it clean as it fell slimy. I'm very pleased with this product and will need to get the new rechargeable model in case the power goes out. I don't think my cat could go without this now.

I went with the stainless steel one because I read it harbors less bacteria than plastic. Then I relize the body of the fountain is plastic. So here's my 2 centsPro:- My cats took to it quickly. They love that is flows all the time. I have one that's wireless and it only flows when the cat walks into the room. They are not a fan and drink from this one a lot more- The fountain is dang cute. How can you not like it?- Capacity is ok. I fill it up every Thursday and it lasts about a week- Quiet.Con- The body of the fountain is plastic- After a few months I see a residue buidling up no matter how much I clean it. My home has hard water- The pump clogs frequently. That's just how it is. But as others have said, a goo builds up if you don't clean it regularly- My pump actually broke after a few months. I just went online and got a similar one for a few bucks.Overall a good fountain but I am going to toss it and switch to a ceramic one or one that does not have plastic as its main body. Its not just about cat acne, but the bacteria that builds up in plastic.If this company were to make one out of ceramic or non plastic, I'd buy one

I had my cat drinking out of a normal water and food bowl holder but my cat would regularly knock it over when there was food and water in it so it got annoying after a while. After doing some research I thought that maybe it was because she was bored of stagnant water so I bought this fountain.It took her a while to feel comfortable around the fountain because the spout freaked her out—it took a few days of training her with treats to get closer to it. I eventually set the treats right next to the spout and she found out the fountain was safe and she loved the moving water.After three weeks the fountain stopped working, when I opened it I was a little horrified to see a green algae-looking substance coated in the bottom and inside the motor so I came to the reviews here and saw multiple people complaining about the same thing. But then I saw that some people took apart the motor and cleaned it out and it started working again.After some research I found out the green algae substance appears in stagnant water (just like if you propagate plants) and loves the saliva and sugar from your cat’s mouth, if left unchecked it harbors bacteria and can make your cat sick.If something similar happened to you—every time the fountain runs out of water just give it a scrub, take the motor apart and use a toothbrush and/or straw cleaner to get inside the small crevices, put it back together and it works like a charm again.I did have to buy replacement filters which you can also find on Amazon, I bought a pack of 30 for $16.Just like anything in life, this fountain works perfectly if you regularly maintain and take care of it.

not sure that my new rescue cat knows that its a water bowl just yet lol, but she is somewhat vision impaired so I figured the little night light and the light trickling noise would help her drink, even at night time. so adorable! I hope she comes to love it, I just think shes confused bc shes so used to being outside. easy to put together, quiet, and works as intended. holds way more water than my 5lb baby could need in a day.

Purchased this item after my older Birman cat refused to drink from a larger more elaborate more expensive stainless unit by a different manufacturer. Thought maybe that one was overwhelming to her - shiny, big and with a sound -so tried this one with success. It's relatively small and totally quiet! She drinks quickly so haven't been able to get a picture - but she IS using it! It's easy to clean and cute too! Very pleased and highly recommend!
