    Cats want fresh, running water, which is why those fountain things are so effective for cats.

    That still doesn’t explain why my cat will drink some cloudy fucking street puddle water though.

      The biggest joke I’ve heard from r/cats: “we got 3 fountains and my cat keeps drinking puddle water outside like it’s the tastiest thing in the world”

      Yes, my cats have loved fountains. You can make one for cheap. Large glass jar, aquarium filter pump, rubber band or something to hold the pump against the jar, and some decorative glass rocks in the bottom to keep it in place

      I’ve never been able to get my cats to pay any attention to those things. Have tried a few.
