Cats need to drink a lot of water in order to stay healthy. In fact, cats that drink plenty of water are not only healthier, but also happier, and more active. They are also less likely to get bladder and kidney infections, which are the leading cause of preventable deaths in cats.

Despite it being crucial for their health though, cats are notoriously picky about drinking and tend to have a low thirst drive. fountains running water mimics a more natural way for your cat to drink by signaling to them that the water is fresh and safe to drink. This in turn encourages them to drink more, so they can live longer and better lives.
