My senior and my kittens both enjoy having this fountain to drink from.  They like to moving water and its easy to clean.  I do not like how the plug in connection is designed.  The cord that plugs into the wall should be longer and the part of the cord that is connected to the filter/motor  should be shorter.  My plug in is behind something and it is difficult to disconnect it for cleaning since the plug in part is so much shorter.  I have had to tape it to the wall for frequent access for cleaning.
