My cats were very curious when I opened the pet fountain and didn’t want to try it at first. After about 30 minutes they went to check it out again and loved it! It seems they drink more water now than they did before. I think sometimes they think it’s a toy because they will splash around a little bit but the water doesn’t get out of the fountain. It’s very quiet and you can barely hear it run. It was very easy to put together. I’m so glad I chose this for my cats. I’d recommend this to anyone!
