Lucky Kitty Ceramic Drinking Fountain

Exactly right for our cats. Good quality. Improvements would be: - some kind of pattern or colour to break up the white enamel (tbh it looks a bit like a urinal); and - the pump should be triggered by a proximity sensor.

The plug is massive and heavy. It requires an adaptor to plug into standard uk socket, and is so heavy it won't stay in the socket without wedging something against it. I like the fountain but the plug is very poor and not even sure it is safe to keep having the plug hanging out

The cats are very happy with this but it was far from silent – I have fixed this my adding thicker rubber feet and a couple of large rubber bands so that two halves of the fountain don’t come into contact. The real drawback is the transformer and UK plug adaptor which is terrible – the weight of the transformer means it regularly falls out of the adaptor. Poorly designed, unsightly and dangerous, it lets down an otherwise excellent product.

Brilliant product, great value for money and fantastic quality. Very easy to assemble...my cats love it! Really recommend this product.

My cat started drinking from the fountain as soon as she saw it. It was easy to set up, following instructions at www.lucky-kitty.com/en/lucky-kitty/downloads, and is virtually silent in operation. Would be helpful if manual came with fountain - some reviews refer to problems putting fountain together/filling it and I wonder if these have arisen because people haven't had instructions to hand. I also bought the tube cleaner + spare tubes so it should be easy to keep tubes clean.

Like many Bengals our cat loves water so as well as drinking it, he plays in it constantly. The fact that the base is so heavy is a big plus as Bengals are renowned for tipping over water bowls at every opportunity. So far this has stood up to a 5 kilo boy teetering on the edges of it while fishing in the pool. Even with the constant play, the water stays very fresh and clean (used with the filter) and as yet we haven't experienced any issues. We have had 3 different fountains before and all were incredibly fiddly to clean with numerous separate parts to disassemble so by comparison, this is very straightforward. We use the brush from a Camelbak hydration pack to clean everything as its designed for flexible tubes. Definitely worth the money. Its very quiet and doesn't leak as long as you don't overfill it.

The tube between the pump and the nozzle is too short and too soft. When the top is put on the base it often kinks and there is no water flow, it can take a long time to be able to get the tube to allow a flow. Not bad, the cats like it, but it really is a pain to put together.

I was un sure wether my cat would take to this,at first he didnt as it was flowing too fast but once on its lowest setting he loves it and his cat litter is always wet how it should be unlike before with a normal bowl. Also i cannot hear this at all and its right outside my bedroom door. I would recommend this to people.

Bought this drinking fountain mainly because it was a 'non filter' one, and reviews looked promising. Plus it looked quite sturdy. Assembly was easy enough. The instructions easy to follow. Once filled with water, I was a little disappointed to find that the actual fountain bit does not really flow like 'a fountain', but about an inch upward until it flows into the bowl for 'recycling'. Anyway, with great anticipation brought Jet to the bowl, she looked quite nervous, looked at it and ran away! However later decided further investigations were merited. With great courage she took a lap from the bottom of the fountain, Yay! She has now drank from all areas of the fountain very happily. The ceramic bowl is very easy to clean, as are all the parts's. The motor is so quiet I forget it's on. Jet continues to enjoy this water fountain, and I am very pleased that I purchased this particular one.

I bought one of these for my two Maine Coon kittens, who love to play with water in the sink and shower. The first hour was great, they played and drank and drank and drank....until one of them climbed up on top and peed in it. After several pee episodes, I have now had to put this away. A shame, it is very quiet (literally you don't hear anything) and very well made. It's porcelain so it's very heavy - which means they cannot tip it over, which is great. However, this means that cleaning it can be really awkward (which is why I end up putting it away).

I spent ages looking for a contemporary fountain and reading reviews, and I think this is definitely the most attractive on the market. It is very simple looking but classy, love the fact it's ceramic as it's a quality piece (the plastic ones are a nightmare to clean and can cause acne in cats, plus they do look cheap!) and it doesn't need filters....hurrah! You do need to put more water in than the instructions indicate though. Check if you turn it off that there is a reasonable pool of water in the 'splash pool' bit at the bottom so if you leave your house and the pump should fail, your cat will always have access to some water. One of my cats took to this immediately, the other has sniffed it (I only received it today. so early days). I'm already thinking of buying another one though! The only draw back to this is fitting the tube (very fiddly) and I'd have liked to have had a deeper splash pool area. Zooplus, please stock the funky mats and other accessories that they sell on the lucky kitty site, I'd like to buy everything from one place!

This is an excellent product and I'm delighted with it. I think ceramic is much much better than plastic for hygiene, and I'm happy that there's no filter as I believe they work out expensive in the long run and can potentially harbour bacteria. The Lucky Kitty fountain is perfect. It's designed specifically for cats, and it's beautifully simple, whilst also being very substantial and almost silent. It takes a little getting used to when fitting it together, but once you have the knack it's really easy and the cleaning is a 2 minute job - just take it apart, wipe, rinse and reassemble. It's a little more expensive than other fountains, but I think its quality makes it the best value for money. Worth every penny! :)

Thought I would write the review as this has been a fantastic purchase. We have 7 cats so need lots of accessible water. The fountain has served well. I bought mine 2 years ago and it is still going strong. I do a proper clean of the pump fortnightly and in between change the water and just rinse the pump. Highly recommend as a good investment.

I received this as a gift. My previous fountain was light, being made of plastic. I had given up trying to use it because my very energetic cats simply dispersed the water all over the kitchen, scooping it up from the well, and frequently upturning it. This one is brilliant - nice and heavy so it has never been overturned, and no well, so no happy splashing over the kitchen. I change the water every day and give it a proper clean once a week and it has never become clogged up. All of my cats use it, from the old boy to the young one, and it has definitely encouraged them to drink more.

Our two Norwegians love this fountain. It was the only fountain we could find that our male would not try to tip over (in total we spent £100 trying to find the right one!). Don't think he did not try though! The fountain is nice and heavy,and he soon learnt that no standing and pulling at the top lid even worked. Cleaning is easily done, the tube I clean with a small bottle brush. I top of the water every day and change it once or twice a week. Both cats drink so much more now that they have this lovely heavy fountain!

I have been using the Lucky Kitty fountain for little over two years, it has been a life safer for both of my cats. They drink sooo much more water now. The perfect tool for cleaning tubes is a tube brush.

I know some people say this does not sound at all. Mine does. I have to turn it off at night because it keeps me awake. I have tried all kinds of things but still there is too much noise. The fountain for sure is nice and my cats love it but I wish it would be so quiet that everyone says it will...

i bought this for my two cats because one of them suffers from struvit crystals. he loves drinking from the tap so i was hoping this would encourage him to drink more during the day when im not at home. after reading all the reviews on other international zooplus sites it was down to this one or the drinkwell. i decided to buy this fountain because theres no need for new filters and it seems more hygenic both cats got used to it straight away, even our puppy drinks from it. its bigger than i expected and its very heavy(at least they cant move it)but its silent and the good thing is that you can just pop it into the dishwasher. there are two bad points:first of all the pipe should be a bit longer, its tricky to put everything together second, because both parts are ceramic, the top tends to rattle and be noisy but if you stick a bit of blue tack on the edges of the bottom part the problem is solved im very happy with the purchase so far and would highly recommend this product

This is well worth the price you pay for it and my cats love their new drinking fountain. As long as you clean it every week, there is no problem with clogging. Also to make sure the ceramic top is in place , maybe a little fine tweaking to prevent any rattling.

I have tried all the other water fountains with my cat - but this is the best by far. Designed for a cat to use - and allows them 3 different ways to from it. (Others makes seem to be designed for dogs). No expensive filters to by. Very hygienic . Made of ceramic - so very very easy to clean - even in the dishwasher. The quietest fountain I have ever used.

The product is a big, heavy porcelain block, and whoever designed it should probably consider a career change... The tube was way too long, so no matter where you put the water circulator, the plastic tube bends and can't move the water. Because of this, I cut the tube shorter, so sometimes I manage to set it up so water actually flows, but you have to hold the heavy porcelain with one hand, and you can't even see what you're doing with the other hand because now the tube is too short. Really annoying!
