Best Water fountain for a kitten

11 replies

Our new kitten is 7 weeks old and seems to only want to drink kitten milk. She eats wet food for each meal, doesn't seem to like the dry food I leave out for her. I'm just worried that she isn't getting enough water.

I tried mixing some water in with the milk but she won't touch it unless it's all milk 🤔

So anyway, I thought a fountain might encourage her, any suggestions? She's very little and all of the fountains I've looked at look like they have quite high sides.

Our vet said not to worry if eating wet food, there are still lots of wees in the litter tray.

Thankyou, she did a wee on the floor this morning 🤦‍♀️ but I think that's because she had milk last night. Might see if she's interested in a running tap.

We have this one too and are happy with it. You need to change the filter fairly often.

I got a cat drinking fountain from Pets At Home - it has a green top, and the water comes out of a white plastic flower. I read reviews afterwards, and that was rated the best. My cats love it! You could always make a step of a few books, for a kitten to stand on.

One of mine got to the point, where he’d only drink from a running tap, and the other only drank in very hot weather anyway; both on wet food. They both drink regularly from the cat fountain now.

Thanks all, I got the one with the flower, it's a small one for kittens. Fingers crossed she'll use it!

Miaustore ceramic fountains are amazing.

I impulse ordered a fancy catit one. Hasn’t arrived yet, doubt it was worth the additional cost though. It comes with an app and in a moment of stress, I figured this was useful🤪 I’ve come to my senses now but it’s ordered, really hope Dcat likes it🤣🤣

Well the kitten is completely ignoring the water fountain so that was a waste of money 🤦‍♀️ she must be drinking something though because she keeps weeing on the carpet. I hope this gets easier 😩

It’s all new to her, and she’s only a baby! When we got our two, they spent 2 days behind the settee! I had visions of two cats, we’d never see in 15 years!
