How To Make A Cat Drinking Fountain
cat drinking fountain illustrates how to easily create a fountain for cats that prefer running water.
Materials needed:
- aquarium water pump
- long bowl
- duct tape
Our cats drink from the bathtub after we get showers.
I’d have to go the washroom every 10 minutes if I had to listen to that trickling all day.
Our landlord has — yes, he’s losing his marbles — 23 fish tanks in his 1-bedroom apartment and piles of old pumps and filters he doesn’t use half the time. I might borrow one from him and set this thing up with a timer that comes on every few hours during the day. Our cats drink water off our bathtub after the shower, but Nigel (you all know Nigel, right?) pukes up the soapy water afterwards, and, well, a contraption like this could save us cleaning up some puke.
I just set it up, minus the duct tape. So far my cats aren’t going near it. The sound of the pump is spooking them.
