Spent $100 at the pet store today *PIX*

They had the medium and large ones at Big lots a few weeks ago for 15.00 each. You should look there first


I searched EVERY Big Lots in the Bay area and have yet to find one And I desperately want one as my boys love the old one but drained it dry I looked to get a new motor but it was $16...cheaper than an new fountain for $30 but still would like to get something less expensive. With shipping it's $20 somewhat dollars They drink out of it even without the pump but I'd like to get their favorite bevie going again.

Mine LOVE the PetMate fountain; I have had ours for at least 4 years and replaced the pump once. They drink a lot more with it on.

Did not know about the bigger ones; maybe I should get one!

My fur posse love theirs and they, too, drain it at least once a day, so I'm going to get another one. I worry about the motor burning out, too, when I'm gone, especially if I go away for a couple of days. My cat sitter is here but only at night. She feeds them in the morning, etc. and then she's off to work two jobs so I have to be sure that the fountain is in good running order. So far, so good w/this one.

Our oldest cat, Norton, loves to drink from the facet! I have thought about getting a fountain. I am ALMOST convinced!!! However, how dies it stand up to abuse?? If there is flowing water, I am quite sure that the younger ones, would be batting at it!! Thanks for all the great feedback!! Sandra

I forgot to ask: does the fountain run on electric??

[Freedom]

Yes, the PetMate fountain is plugged in and runs on electric all the time.

I bought my first one last winter when CatLadytold us about hers, here on PT. BIG HIT here. So a few weeks back when Big Lots had them for $15, I bought a second one. I gave up using plain water bowls, no one used them except to drop food in and make a mess.

I had put off getting one as well, figuring as mentioned above, buy th eexpesive toy and they like the box best. Now I am so pleased with the fountain.

It's not a flow like a waterfall, so to speak. It's a trickle, barely noticeable except to them because most cats do like to drink out of the faucet.
