Looked at several cat fountains. Elsewhere, I liked the stainless one the best and that's the one we got, I like that it hods a gallon of water and you can change out the number of openings where water will come out - right now I'm using the 4 opening one, might change it depending on how my cats react to it. So far, the big black cat is loving it - I figured he'd be the first to use it, he's the bravest one of the bunch. The kitten drank out of the bowl, but ignored the flowing water. The 3rd cat has looked at it, but then went to eat instead. I also like that it's very quiet - the last one we had, we could always hear a low hum from the motor.
