There are several reasons why having a water fountain available for your cat might be a great idea.

Did you know that cats have a low thirst drive? It's true! In the wild, most of a cat's water intake would come from their food, which is high-moisture-containing meat, so they do not naturally have high thirst. This can cause or exacerbate a myriad of feline health problems for indoor, domesticated cats, including urinary tract and kidney diseases.Cats don't like drinking out of still, stagnant water sources. Cats prefer running water, and this is why some of them will tap the water in their bowl with their paw before drinking it.
