I have one of those fountains too, but I couldn't tell you whether or not the kitty drinks from it because I never see him doing it! It's in a corner of the kitchen, out of sight and where we won't trip over it. There are HUGE "winkle" clumps in the box though, so he must be getting enough water. I think they just run on an aquarium-type pump anyway, with a charcoal filter, so you could probably rig up something generic like that if you had a lot of kitties. I just can't picture the logistics of it at the moment.
I have never been able to interest my kitty in drinking from the faucet, but that's probably a good thing, since the cost of water where I live is insane - for our family of 3, $175.00 every 3 months! If I left a faucet running, I'd have to sell plasma to pay my water bill!
