Very GOOD workhorse water cat fountain. Would order again in heartbeat.
January 2, 2023
As i am ordering more filters i am noticing i bought my CAT MATE fountain more than a decade ago. I periodically clean it with a dilute bleach soln to keep the pump clean. This is a great cat fountain. Leo the great loved it and now Queen Mary and Prince John have taken to it very well too. I Believe this would be 3 (4 including owner) five star reviews.
Pros
  • Several height options for cats drink from, including a sliding waterfall. Very easy to disassemble and clean. Simple design that has been very durable. Also it holds a significant amount of water so it does not have to be "refilled" daily. And importantly, it filters the water so if the cats add "dirt" or a hairball this is caught by a filter and not in flowing water.
Cons
  • None! This was a really good investment as cats can turn their whiskers up at stale water. Drinking plenty of clean water is good for every mammals health!

QUIET!

The fountain is quiet and very easy to assemble and maintain. My cats seem to appreciate the three different heights of water. I very much wish it were available in ceramic, but meanwhile we're loving the plastic one.

Cats love it but ...
November 21, 2016
As I hoped for, my cats have taken to this water fountain. They seem to particularly like that they can drink standing up :) And the fountain is easy to take apart and put together. My only complaint is that the pump is noisy, like there might be a loose bearing. We've examined the pump and its placement in the fountain. It is secure so it might be the pump itself. I'll be contacting the manufacturer to see if the pump can be replaced, as other reviewers have noted that their fountain is quiet.
Pros
  • Easy to take apart. Cats love having different levels to drink from.
Cons
  • Pump is noisy.

Best Fountain on the Market
February 1, 2016
I've had several fountains for my 3 cats, and this one is definitely the best one I've purchased. It is very quiet, very easy to clean (important since I don't have a dishwasher), and with multiple levels it satisfies all 3 cats differing preferences. I'll likely be purchasing another one to swap out with this one when I'm too lazy to do the dishes!
Pros
  • very quiet, easy to clean, multiple levels to drink from
Cons
  • The one thing I would change is the shape of the bottom bowl. While it is big, the shape is square which can be too narrow for a cat with a large head. I'd round the bowl portion so there is a larger area for them. Otherwise, no cons.

Very quiet
January 24, 2015
The cat likes it and my wife likes it since the cat no longer wants to get a fresh drink from the kitchen sink. I like it since I can't hear it running. It is also very easy to fill.

My furbabies like it.
September 4, 2014
My furbabies like it, so that makes me happy. I have 2 Italian Greyhounds.
Pros
  • I don't have to fill it every day and the water stays clean & clear.

Awesome product
July 1, 2014
My cat loves the product. Its easy to see that the cat is actually drinking the water more consistently. Shipping was smooth and customer service was real quick to respond even though I wrote to them over a holiday weekend.
Pros
  • Real quite, very easy to maintain. Had it for over a month now and no real problems. At least performance wise.
  • Real solid product, highly recommended.
Cons
  • not really a con but a suggestion.
  • when a cat drinks from the fountain, some loose hairs get into the bottom bowl or the surroundings of where it drank usually due to static electricity since the products exterior is made of plastic.
  • maybe figure out a way so no hairs get into the bowl or create/supply something to get rid of the hairs without contaminating the water.
  • I live in southern california where water is scarce and it just seems like a waste of perfectly good purified water if I keep cleaning the product every time some hair gets into the bowl

Keeps my cat with kidney issues drinking lots of water!
June 23, 2014
16 year old kitty had kidney values on the way up a couple years ago. This fountain is keeping him drinking lots of water. As soon as I filled it & put it on the floor, he knew it was his! :-) I choose to use bottled drinking water to avoid the chlorine, etc. and improve the life of the filters. His kidney values are holding steady. I hesitated to order this since I have owned others & they were a nightmare to keep clean. This is the easiest to clean I have ever used. The filter keeps it flowing nicely & he loves it. Only suggestion I would have would be to design the flow "slide" so that it came into the opposite side of the bowl from the intake so that the bowl water is circulated more efficiently, however, I am still very happy with it!
Pros
  • Easy to clean
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Space saving
  • Holds reasonable amount of water without being to heavy at cleaning time
  • Design provides the most water for the space used with the squarish design rather than round
  • Very quiet
  • Price is right
  • Keeps kitty drinking
  • Electrical cord has "connector" which allows me to disconnect the unit with the short cord to transport to clean without having to unplug from electrical. I find that easy & convenient.
Cons
  • None

Reasonable price
May 17, 2014
Have done a lot of online research regarding cat fountains. This one is highly recommended and is easy to clean and use.
Pros
  • Like the versatility of drinking options, high, low, and waterfall.
Cons
  • Only problem is my cat just looks at it and will go without water until I put water in his ceramic bowl. Have tried scenting the water with Catnip and Chicken broth. Will offer it to my son-in-law, they have three cats and a dog.

Best pet fountain on the market
February 3, 2014
And I've tried them all. This one works flawlessly and quietly for a very long time. I highly recommend this model, the cats love it.
Pros
  • Very dependable, long lasting, and silent operation.
Cons
  • To replace just the motor costs more than just buying a whole new unit, but that's not really a big deal, just buy a new one!

Great product, great service from Petguys.com
October 18, 2013
I ordered this fountain on Wednesday morning and it was on my doorstep early Friday afternoon. Wow! Thanks for same-day shipping Petguys! It also was the best price I could find on the web. My cat was afraid of the fountain for the first week, but he has taken to it like a duck to water since. It runs so quietly even at full flow, that I had to add rocks to make it gurgle so he would even notice it. This will keep him hydrated over the winter when it's too cold/freezing to have him drink out of the hose outside. I have ready many reviews on many sites for this product, and it has truly earned its 5 stars. Very easy to assemble and clean. Highly recommended.
Pros
  • Price, quiet, easy to use/clean, fast shipping.
Cons
  • Absolutely nothing. I did a lot of research before purchasing.

great fountain, and great service from PetGuys.com
September 29, 2013
This is the replacement for a PetMate fountain that I used for my two cats for about seven years before the pump stopped working correctly. I am very pleased with this Cat Mate fountain. It is quiet and runs smoothly. It is much easier to take apart and clean than the PetMate fountain was, and I think the quality of the Cat Mate/Dog Mate water filters is also better than the ones for the PetMate fountain. I want to thank PetGuys.com for taking the time to call me and tell me that shipping would be slightly delayed (due to their supplier). The slight delay was no problem for me, and I really appreciated the call.

This is a great little fountain. It's the perfect size for cats. Mine like to just sit by it and drink contentedly from the top bowl. Also it is very quiet. The last type of fountain we had made noise.

CATMATE PET FOUNTAIN
June 22, 2013
FAST DELIVERY. EASY SETUP. I USE FILTERED WATER FROM THE SINK TO FILL THE UNIT AND THE WATER IS ALSO FILTERED IN THE UNIT ITSELF. I LIVE IN THE DESERT AND THE WATER IS VERY HARD AND AVERAGE TASTING. I FIGURED THE SCALE BUILDUP MIGHT NOT BE SO BAD WITH A DOUBLE FILTERING OF THE WATER. SHADOW(my cat) LOVES THE FOUNTAIN AND THE RUNNING WATER. I DO WISH THE UNIT HAD MORE WATER STORAGE CAPABILITY, AS THE WATER EVAPORATES RATHER QUICKLY, EVEN WITH THE PUMP SPEED SET BELOW AVERAGE. I HAVE TO REFILL EVERY FOUR DAYS OR SO.
Pros
  • EASY SETUP AND CLEANING. CAT ENJOYS IT.
Cons
  • MUST WATCH THE UNIT SO IT DOESN'T RUN TOO LOW OF WATER.

Best Cat Fountain EVER!
May 28, 2013
Having two cats with kidney issues led me to the search for the best cat fountain out there. THIS IS IT! Not only is it easy to clean and maintain, but the kitties LOVE it. And the best part of all? It's QUIET! SUPER quiet. I'm just sorry I didn't find this one sooner.
Pros
  • Quiet
  • Easy to clean
  • Cats love it
Cons
  • Not a darn thing

May 27, 2013
Very smooth and fast transaction. Item arrived as expected.
Pros
  • I love that my cat is drinking far more water than she did. Seems she likes the fresh water the fountain produces, thus drinks more. Priced well. Quiet operation too..
Cons
  • The pumps are hard to find when they go out or cost as much as the whole fountain. Last one lasted about two years so that's pretty good.

Great little fountain for the price
September 29, 2012
This was a great option for my cats, wish I'd gotten one sooner. I set it up and my one cat who usually is always trying to get at the faucets went over and proceeded to drink and drink and drink from it for about 10 mins. I thought he was going to drown himself! Cheap, quiet, the replacement filters are cheap - great product!

August 3, 2012
This is my second Cat Mate. The transformer burned out on the first one and I have not been able to find a replacement. Please help in this matter. I really like the cat mate because it is so quiet! I have two other fountains and there is some splashing noise with both of them and I like having one in my bedroom since the cats come and go in there at night.
Pros
  • Quiet...three levels of water which I think the cats like.
Cons
  • No dislikes about the fountain except I have not been able to replace the transformer.

Cat Mate Fountain
April 27, 2012
I got the Cat Mate Fountain for my birds actually, my finches and canaries like to perch on the top portions and drink and bathe in the fresh running water. i filled the deep bottom portion with river rock to prevent drowning. Its quiet as i expected from all the good reviews i read. and i am really impressed, it is more attractive than all the photos and videos i saw. the main IMPORTANT thing i wanted to share with people was that in all the reviews i saw people complained that the filter cartridges were hard to find; i have found that the filter that comes with it is easily pried open (and snaps back together) and can be refilled with items found in the pet aquarium section. you can buy carbon in a jar/box, and you can buy white aquarium filter pads that can be trimmed to fit in the blue plastic case if the pad needs replaced. this is also cheaper than buying the brand name replacement cartridges and is less wasteful than throwing out all that plastic.

March 10, 2012
my two cats love this! it is silent until it starts running out of water, in which case its slight electric whir reminds me conveniently that it's time to pour in a little more water. So easy, and the one cat who used to jump on the kitchen counter in search of running sink water is now not doing that. Hooray!

Cat Mate Pet Fountain for Cats & Small Dogs
January 18, 2012
I am very pleased with this purchase. Over the past 4 or 5 years, I have bought and used several brands and types of pet water fountains. This fountain is by far the best. I circulates water better. It doesn't leak water onto the floor when the animals drink out of it. It is quiet. The price was reasonable.
Pros
  • Several drinking levels allow opportunity for animals to choose their drinking style preference. Easy to fill.
Cons
  • None

By Lisa

Enticing and Silent
December 16, 2011
As soon as I plugged the unit in, the cats began investigating and drinking out of the fountain. The three tier design enables more than one cat to drink at a time and the silent movement is truly enticing, encouraging cats to drink more.
Pros
  • silent
  • easy to clean and fill
  • compact
  • enticing

WE iz LOL-cats, and lovez new water fountain. We iz very happy dat de human we ownz gotz it for uz. We drinkz lotz more water naow. De human we ownz likez it too. She sayz itz easy ta clean, and makes it all fresh for uz once a week by cleaning all de parts, and de pump. She dont likez touching de partz when dey getz slimy. De only ding better den a new fountain iz of courz de box it camez in. We had lotz of fun wit it. Gotz ta go, we found a string....
Pros
  • Love the different water levels, the quick, easy way it comes apart for cleaning, quiet pump, the way the water cascades down the middle, and the fact that the cats who own me like it.
Cons
  • I have to add some water 1-2 times a day, but that is probably because I'm owned by two cats who are using it more frequently.

Wish I had got one years ago
August 15, 2011
I looked at several different brands and makes but decided on this one. I am very pleased with my choice. My cats took to it the very minute I hooked it up. The unit is lightweight and super - super quiet. It does not leak. It is just heavy enough when filled with water to keep my cats from scooting it across the floor and spilling it. It has no definite edges where they can pick it up with their teeth and spill it. The different tier levels makes it easy for them to drink comfortably. Overall I think the product has been well thought out and the price is outstanding. I definitly recommend this product to anyone with cats or small dogs.

I was having trouble getting my cat to drink enough water so I bought this product in hopes it would taste better for him - not just sitting getting stale. He LOVES IT! He drank more in the first day than he did the whole week with his old bowl! THANKS YOU PET GUYS!!!

I have a 15 year old female cat who was recently diagnosed with early stage cancer and renal failure. She needs a lot of water for her daily medicine. This fountain is easy to clean and you can adjust the power of the motor to your desire. If you pet likes the water to be fast you just turn the motor up. The only con is that the water evaporates so the water level will need to be monitored ever other day.
Pros
  • Ease of use and it cleans the water
Cons
  • Water level

You guys had the best price. I found this item on Amazon and after reading the reviews decided to get it. I had a Petmate which was a chore to keep clean. This is easy to clean and the cats love it!! It's also very quiet. Will get another when I need one. Also, I was able to use my old Petmate filters in it so I'll be able to use those up. Plus, very fast delivery. Thanks.

This fountain is by far the best one I have ever purchased! My cats love it and it is quiet, easy to clean and light weight. I feel as though I can really get it clean (dishwasher safe) . I have 3 other types/brands of fountains in my home and they are all cumbersome to handle and clean. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! I am planning on buying a few more. Great gift for your kitty loving friends!

This is the only fountain all four of my cats love. It's not noisy and it does not splash. Have spent lots of cash on other brands but this is the best. Filters can be reloaded with aquarium quality charcoal also. The pump comes apart for easy cleaning and will work tirelessly when maintained. There are a few tight spots when cleaning the fountain but an old tooth brush with long bristles can clean those tight areas.

Cat Mate Pet Fountain leaves charcoal in the water
May 27, 2011
I ordered one of these Cat Mate Pet Fountains and received one with alot of black marks on it so PetGuys cheerfully replaced it. The second one was hooked up easily and set out for my cat who promptly refused to go near it. Then I realized why. The charcoal filter put some charcoal into the water.
