A 90 ounce cat water fountain built from glass rather than the plastic almost every other fountain uses. The reason this matters is biofilm: plastic develops microscopic scratches that hold bacteria, which is the slippery pink film owners find inside a fountain after a few weeks and the reason some cats stop drinking from theirs. Glass does not scratch the same way and the pieces go straight into a dishwasher. It ships with flow reducers for low and medium settings, since some cats prefer a gentle trickle to a visible stream, and two cleaning brushes. Ninety ounces covers multiple cats or a long weekend. Best fit: multi-cat homes, owners tired of scrubbing plastic, and cats that need encouragement to drink more water.
Pros
- Glass parts go in the dishwasher, which plastic fountains cannot survive long-term
- Glass does not scratch and hold biofilm the way plastic does after a few months
- Flow reducers let you dial it to a trickle for cats put off by a visible stream
- 90 ounces covers several cats or lets you leave for a weekend without topping up
Cons
- It is glass, so it will not survive being knocked off a counter the way a plastic fountain would
Frequently asked questions
Can the whole thing go in the dishwasher?
The glass pieces are dishwasher safe. The pump and any electrical components are cleaned by hand, which is why the two brushes are included.
Is it quiet enough to sit in a bedroom?
Fountain noise mostly comes from the water level, not the pump. Keeping it topped up near full keeps it to a soft trickle. Letting it run low makes any fountain louder.
Will it break if my cat knocks it over?
It is glass, so it is more fragile than plastic. The 90 ounce filled weight makes it hard to tip, but a determined counter cat is a real risk and it should sit on the floor.
Why does my cat drink more from a fountain than a bowl?
Moving water reads as fresher to cats, which is an instinct from avoiding stagnant sources. Many cats who ignore a full bowl will drink noticeably more from a fountain.
