We've used the PetMate for years, but recently I bought a Catit because I thought Becky and Abby might like it better. They both prefer the water as it's coming out of the pump, so I thought the Catit would be better for them.

They did seem to like it, but unfortunatey, the one we bought was incredibly noisy. Since it was new, it's not like it was a cleanliness problem We kept taking it apart and adjusting it and finally gave up within a week.

Perhaps not all of the fountains have the same problem since Catnapper says hers is quiet.
