The cats really like the design of this fountain; ...it has a higher tier for the larger (or older) cats so they don't have to bend over, and a lower basin for everyone else. The fountain aspect is designed to gently splash over the top basin down into the lower one. So no loud splash sounds, and no big splashing action to make nervous cats even more nervous. The aerated water was really appreciated by my cats this past hot and humid summer. I've noticed my year old cat drinking much more water than before - especially important when your cats are eating dry kibble. Design and construction wise, it's pretty sturdy and easy to set up and get running. The replaceable carbon filter is a nice addition to remove chlorine and other nasties from your cat's drinking water. The only negative I have about this fountain is that it is really hard to clean around the perimeter of the upper basin -- there isn't much room between the base and the wall to get even a really small brush (and I'm talking about a narrow pipe brush) in there to clean.
