It took a few days for my cat to get used to the moving water but she was definitely intrigued from the first moment I plugged it in. She definitely drinks more now than when she just had a standard bowl of water which is encouraging. One thing that could be improved is having a line going down the middle showing me when I need to fill it up. Other than that, I'm impressed with how quiet it is and it does a great job filtering(got that from a spider that floated in and I've never seen it again.).
