My cats love running water, so I hoped they would like this.  They basically ignored it.  But I enjoy it.  There are several problems though.  The lowest petal would only dispense water through one spout, even though there were two spouts.  I tried to manipulate the metal petal to balance it better so water would flow out of each spout, but I never was successful.  Secondly, our water system has so many chemicals in it that white residue caked around the water lines.  Therefore, distilled water is needed.  Thirdly, I had to add more water daily due to evaporation (or maybe my cats got into it when I wasn't looking).
