Why Do Cats Prefer Running Water?

Have you ever noticed your cat drinking from the faucet instead of their water bowl? Many cats are naturally curious about moving water, and there are a few reasons why.

Why Cats Like Moving Water

A stream of water creates movement and sound that can naturally attract a cat's attention. Compared with a completely still bowl, flowing water can be more interesting and encourage a cat to investigate.

Many cats that ignore their water bowl will happily drink from a running faucet. A water fountain can provide that same type of gentle movement without needing to leave the faucet running.

Fresh Water Throughout the Day

Water that sits in an uncovered bowl can collect hair, dust and other small particles. A fountain continuously circulates the water, while its filtration system helps reduce unwanted particles and odors.

Petivano uses a multi-stage filtration system with activated carbon and a filter sponge to help keep the circulating water cleaner and fresher.

An Easier Drinking Routine

If your cat already shows interest in faucets, sinks or other sources of running water, a fountain can be a simple way to make flowing water available throughout the day.

Petivano combines continuous water circulation, filtration and a 3.2 L capacity in one easy-to-maintain fountain.

A little movement can make drinking water much more interesting for your cat.
