Perhaps the most thoughtful gift for cats isn’t even something to play with or on, but something to help them be their healthiest. While being physically active is important, good health starts from the inside out. A cat drinking fountain is a simple way to gift your cat with health.

Cats needs lots of fresh water every day. It keeps them hydrated and lessens the chance of kidney or bladder issues. Cats don’t always drink enough, though, because the water in their bowls gets stale. A cat drinking fountain circulates the water to keep it fresh and to encourages your cat to drink more.

Most cats do fine with the most popular drinking fountains, but some may get chin acne from the plastic models. Chin acne looks like little black spots of dirt, and can be itchy or inflamed. Plastic water bowls, if scratched, can harbor bacteria, which may attach to your cat’s chin when it drinks. A ceramic cat drinking fountain is much more sanitary and can help avoid chin acne.
