Kitty's Refusing to Drink From Their New Fountain!

I recently got my cat a fancy new water fountain, hoping it would motivate them to drink more. Well, much to my dismay, they're completely ignoring the whole thing! They prefer their old bowl, even though it's not nearly as stylish. I've tried all sorts of things – changing the liquid, adding some flavor, even cleaning the fountain extra carefully. Nothing seems to help. I'm starting to think my cat is just too set in their ways.

Fountain Fail: My Kitty Friend Won't Touch It

I purchased a fancy new fountain for my buddy, thinking it would be the purrfect solution to his thirst. He had to drinking from the toilet, which was nasty. I figured a flowing water source would be more attractive. Boy, was I wrong! He just sniffs at it with disgust, and then flops down for a nap. My little water hater obviously prefers the porcelain throne.

• Maybe that he's just a creature of habit?
• Or maybe the fountain is just way too loud for his delicate ears.

Whatever the reason, I'm forced with a pricey, unused fountain and a cat who remains to drink from the toilet. At least it's funny.

Numerous Cats Dislike Moving H2O

Cats are known for their love of naps, hunting toys, and generally being aloof. However, one thing that seems to confuse most felines is moving water. Whether it's a dripping faucet, a bubbling fountain, or even just a puddle on the floor, cats often seem to avoid getting near it. Some cat lovers believe this aversion stems from their instinct to capture small creatures, and that the unpredictable movement of water confounds their natural hunting instincts. Others suggest it's simply a matter of texture, as cats prefer solid surfaces for playing. Whatever the reason, it's clear that for many cats, h2o is not their preferred thing.
