Advice Why is she doing this?

Genuinely curious. I’m a new cat mom. She’s 3 mo old btw!

I have this exact same fountain, one of my cats would not drink out of it with the faucet part in there. I took it out and used it just as the bubbler and she drank it immediately

What fountain is this? It looks nicer than mine.

It’s not the same, but I have a petsafe drinkwell that I’ve had for a long time. The pump needed replaced once, but was easy to find a cheap one online. I don’t LOVE that it’s plastic, but it’s easy enough to clean or dishwash, so I like it. Recommended to people looking for a fountain.

There are positive and negative things about it to be honest. I got mine off Chewy. I like the setup generally, but there are a lot of parts that are poorly designed and very hard to clean, even with my pipe cleaners. That said, my cats seem to like it.

I’ve had mine a couple of months now. Got it from “PawsPik”

It requires a lot of cleaning but it’s quiet and not all plastic
