We had an ongoing problem in our house. I wouldn't drink out of my own water bowl. I would only drink out of Dakota's bowl and Mom was worried that because of my food allergies that wasn't a good idea.
Ancient and oh-so-blurry photo of me drinking from Dakota's bowl before he got his new feeder and before I got my new fountain! |
Mom tried everything. All sorts of cute bowls were put before me, but nope, I wouldn't use them.
Mom wasn't able to make it to BlogPaws this past summer but Kate Benjamin from ModernCat was kind enough to send Mom all sorts of info about the new
Catification Lounge! Mom was so excited when she read about these GORGEOUS cat fountains that looked like works of art called:
Click here to visit them! |
CORRECTION FROM CODY: I just received an email from Keith informing me that my Mom did not assemble my fountain correctly.
My mother is not the most adept at assembly and following instructions and it certainly wasn't her intent to cause anyone "embarrassment" by not having the fountain properly put together.
These wonderful fountains come with a HAND-MADE CERAMIC LEAF OR SHELL which should not be standing on the side as Mom has depicted it. The purpose of the hand-made ceramic leaf or shell is to cover the cord or feedthrough INSIDE the fountain. NOT as Mom has shown them in the photo. The properly assembled fountain looks like this:
Once again Mom and I apologize for putting the fountain together incorrectly but you know what? I'm a cat and all I care about is that the water tastes good when I drink it and that the fountain is beautiful.
Not convinced your cat will use one? I am the KING of shunning new things! LOOK AND LISTEN!! The sound of the bubbling water just might put you to sleep.
Mom and I think this fountain is superb. We couldn't be happier and my water tastes the best it has ever tasted!
GIVE-AWAY! Keith was kind enough to offer one lucky reader of Cat Chat (U.S. only please) a fountain of their own! If you would like to win one please leave a comment telling us why you would like a fountain by FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH AT 11PM EST.

We have a fountain now but it's not nearly as beautiful so we would love one of them. You are so lucky to have one!!!
ReplyDeleteWe would love to have a fountain for our crf kitty. We have one downstairs but how wonderful to have one for upstairs to replace the regular bowl of water! We know the importance of water for kidney kitties! Thank you for the chance to win!

ReplyDeleteFRom Cheshire Kitten rRobin saw these fountains at Blogpaws and really liked them. She thinks we'll like this kind of fountain too!
ReplyDeleteWe would love to win one of these for our grandpawrents, they are getting a kitty!
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! I want one!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a nice, functional drinking fountain. It looks so simple to clean too, unlike the one Mommy got for us sometime ago which we avoided. Mommy didn't like that it was so difficult to clean too. Good luck to everyone who's in the draw!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Oh wow, we totally need one! Rumblemum has been looking for a non-plastic fountain! Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteNow this in looks different and interesting, and Cody loves it it appears.
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago we bought the Drinkwell Platnium fountain as we we sick of the cats meowing to turn on the faucet in the bathrooms for a drink. They love their new fountain and we are thrilled as well.
That does look pretty darn good and Cody sure does like it. We would love to have one. We sure hope the person can hook it up but we bet she could find someone to help her. Bet the dogs would like it too. Thanks for offering this Keith. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh Cody, that fountain is so cute! I think you can wash your face there. m Or may be you can ask your mom to put some fish in it as well. Just saying. : ))
ReplyDeletewhat a great gift cody,well done
ReplyDeleteThat fountain is just lovely. We would love to have one for in the house. Mommy put our Drinkwell in the garage and we just has a plastic bowl (would you believe it is a container that Mommy bought pulled pork in at the grocery store) to us in the house. At least Fenris rated an old Tupperware bowl. ~Socks & Scylla
ReplyDeleteOh gosh that fountain is super cute!:)

What a great review and it's always fun to see you in action lovely Cody!! Yay!!! Take care

My cats would love this fountain-- especially my fussy boy Billy.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.DeborahJulian.etsy.com
I would love to try this fountain. As you know, I haven't drank water in 2 years and TW is desperately looking for new bowls/fountains to try. She spent lots of green papers she doesn't have on the Drinkwell 360 and I haven't looked at it. She says this fountain looks like one of those HoMedics fountains that they sell in Walgreens. She's afraid that not drinking water will hurt me as I get older. This is for medical reasons, not just cos I want to win something.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have like Cat Chat and Cody on FB for quite some time and you know where to reach me. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! What a great give away! Our water bowl right now is one of Mommy's mixing bowls. The hairy slobbery sisters is very adept at knocking it over! Now me has lots to think about and me is going to hide.

that fountain is lovely!!! we would love to have one. mom keeps saying that is the next buy - our old mancat Maestro likes his water VERY fresh and sometimes mom can't keep up (and she doesn't approve of those plastic fountains)
ReplyDeleteOh, and mom liked you on facebook (we don't have a page up)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Santa brought our guys a fountain for Christmas last year and they LOVE it. They really do drink so much more water since we have it... but w/so many babies at our house, it seems like someone is always waiting to get at the fountain. {we have other water bowls, but they prefer the fountain water}. They would absolutely love to have this lovely fountain to drink from {and I think it's beautiful!}
ReplyDeleteHow cool. Our kitty friend Phoebes would love that thing
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Oh my goodness, Cody -- you drank and drank and drank, like a FISH! MOL. I've never seen a cat drink so much at one time.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win because I have really been wanting to get a fountain for my three cats, and this one looks really great.
Thanks for a terrific review!
My cats love running water - they try to drink from the bathroom sink when I'm trying to wash my face. They climb into the shower to get some of the dripping water. So I would love to have this fountain for my two cats.

We love our fountain, but that one is much cooler!
ReplyDeleteThat is so entirely cool! Moosey would LOVE this (as he is absolutely fascinated by moving water). :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool fountian you have there! So pawsome :-)
ReplyDeleteThat such a great product... I bet Eugene (Cody's brother from another mother) would love it...:)
ReplyDeleteToo bad we're a Canadian cat family!
Oh my gosh!! I LOVE this so much!! My babies would go nuts over this! I have leaks in my roof so I have to keep pots on the floor and they are so fascinated when the water drips into it they also have started drinking out of it cause they're so intrigued by it! This seems like it would be the PERFECT solution to pot rain water.. since I can't seem to get them to drink out of they stationary water dish, lol!!
ReplyDeleteI also liked both of the FB pages as Wicked Karma Jewelry
ReplyDeleteThat was really nice of Keith!

ReplyDeleteThank you...Once again, you guys have made Mom aware of something she never thought of..contamination through share water dishes. This fountain would be the answer to Mom's (and our)problem.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that Cody is using his new fountain! We used to have a plastic one, which was a pain to clean, especially after the Dude started playing with food in it. All 4 cats are fans of fresh faucet water, so it would be great to win this.
ReplyDeleteMy fivesome (4 cats and 1 chihuahua) adore the fountain they have. They love running water This would be a nice addition
ReplyDeleteWe love these fountains and think they are quite beautiful. We also think you are one of the best of the best when it comes to reviews, Caren and Cody, so I found it important that you let us know you put the fountain together wrong. We all make mistakes and this way whoever wins the fountain will know for sure where the shell goes!! Cody sure did love this fountain and I know my kitties would love one too!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beauteous fountain and so nice and quiet! The Human has been afraid to buy a fountain cause she thought it would be loud and it would scare me. But that looks wonderful! Cody, you look so adorable lapping up your water! I want that fountain!! I wanna drink like Cody!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to win cause my cats would like it.
ReplyDelete2dogs5catscrew@att.net
I'm thinking I'm so set in my ways that I'd never use it and since I'm great about drinking from my bowl, I'm sure someone else would get more use out of this super fountain than me. BUT, I do want to let you know Cody that I nominated you for a blog award - yep - Addictive Blog Award (no surprise there since I LOVE your blog!)....come see me at http://onespoiledcat.wordpress.com/2012/09/01/bling-o-licious-blog/ to get your award icon!

I'd like my cats to win a beautiful fountain. I've bought several from the pet store that the cats don't like, or are hard to clean and they are always ugly. I'd love one the cats like and that looks nice in the living room.

It looks like a quality fountain to me. We've tried others in the past and eventually they all stop working. This one seems simply to disassemble for cleaning (once you get the hang of it).
ReplyDeleteOf course, being in Canada many things are not available to us. Aw shucks!
Our lord cat, Koma, rejects his water bowl, preferring our decorative water fountain, which he nearly empties daily. Recently he has insisted on my 'hand fountain' in my bathroom sink. Trouble is, he wants to drink longer than my hand can stand cupping the cold water. I would be happy to prov ide pictures of both current 'fountains'.
ReplyDeleteKoma and my hand thank you!
We would love to win one as our cats are obsessed with running water! As much as they would like, we cannot keep the water running for our cats.

ReplyDeleteI run a private cat sanctuary in memory of my daughter, who died unexpectedly 11 years ago. I am presently caring for 40 cats - all ferals that I trapped, had neutered and vaccinated. They now have their own two-story home and a fenced-in cat play yards. Since the cat house has electricity, a water fountain would be a most welcomed and appreciated addition!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! My cats have developed such a bad habit, which I have reinforced of course of drinking from the faucet...every time I go into the bathroom they expect me to turn the faucet on for them! THIS fountain would be PURR-fect for them, all seven!
ReplyDeleteI would love to get the water fountain for my kitties. They are always trying to drink from the sink. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis looks interesting! Maggie will NOT drink out of the big water bowl. She never would. When she came to us at 1 year old she saw the dogs drink out of it. She had never seen a dog, and she would/wll not drink out of that bowl. The dogs are gone, over the rainbow now. Different bowl. Still NO. She uses a water dish on the bathroom counter and one on a kitchen counter. *LOL* Grizelda & Chloe are not so picky. In fact Grizelda thinks she's a plumber. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to win because this fountain is beautiful! We already have a DrinkWell fountain, but we need two for when we foster also.

ReplyDeleteHi Cody!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Your fountain looks really cool!
Cody, your mom and mine are like....100% alike. I would have done that too and maybe even MORE! Mom is horrible at assembling anything. I have no idea how she manages to get a letter into an envelope!
ReplyDeleteCody! Aren't you just the luckiest thing to come across a nice man like that!! And lucky to have a mom who goes to that kind of trouble for your good health, yay! That is just the coolest little fountain and we for sure could use a thing like that around here (being so many kitties sharing the same water bowls!). I'm definitely gonna have to pop over to his Etsy shop and check it out. Just a shame we live so far away and can't ever the contest. Anyhow, what fun you get to have with a lucky winner.
ReplyDeleteCheers! and thanks so much for sharing.
Hugs from all your Greek friends,

OMG I would LOVE this fountain!!! Goma will kill for this one!! I love the handmade feel...super cool! Thanks for the giveaway Cody!
ReplyDeleteOooh, it is so pretty! We would like to win one of our own because I had to give up my Drinkwell fountain because it is made of plastic, on account of Harley's EGC.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your amazing fountain!!!! =)
ReplyDeleteWe would love to win a fountain. We don't like plasticy stuff and fountains are so zen ! And Tipp would like the moving water , he trys to make the bowl move all the time. the Momma loves the sound of water falls!
ReplyDeleteHarry, Dexter and Tipp
I think these fountains are amazing and have perused them on etsy many times, but my boys are up to their whiskers in fountains here, I don't really know if they need another :-)
ReplyDeleteI would like one of these fountains because it would keep the water fresh, and it would encourage Yoshi to drink more water.

ReplyDeleteRats! thought I left a comment...we luv fountains here and at my former shelter...we will probably think about this one for a replacement for the one at the shelter which is starting to break down....paw pats, Savvy
ReplyDeleteThat is one cool fountain. Mom got us one of the crappy plastic ones, and it was REALLY hard to clean and was moldy and we lost interest and she gave it away. We would love this one!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have one of these for my pets.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Cowboy and I almost died because of an angry bladder that get's so stressed that I can't urinate. My mom has spent all her savings on having me in and out of the emergency vet. I am somewhat better now that I am on a bladder relaxing med but it is not meant for long term and I can't seem to do without it. My doc says that the intake of liquids is so important in my diet. My mom has changed me to a canned diet. I don't wanna drink because I know it hurts my bladder to urinate. Our doc thought I might like a water fountain so that it would be more fun and give me a little more incentive to drink. Right now my mom puts syringes full of water in my mouth several times a day. We would both love to have a fountain like this so I might be able to get off my medicine and give my mom a rest. We are good buddies and she is afraid of losing me.
ReplyDeleteI am so terribly sorry but that contest ended three years ago. Praying you have good health.
