I don't know about anyone else, but I gave up on these water fountain style bowls ages ago. They're always made out of plastic and they always grow nasty shit in them and they are super hard to clean. Then if you scratch the plastic while cleaning it it just grows even more stuff the next time and you end up in a vicious cycle. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I'm back to plain old porcelain bowls from the pet store

We have 2 ceramic water fountains that don't have these problems.

The pump is hard to clean, but it's worth it for the amount of water our little guy drinks.

I have a steel one, dishwasher every couple weeks cleans it out nicely

Yeah, the stainless steel ones are great if you have a dishwasher. I can understand if people don't want the upkeep of replacing filters and that black ring thing around the pump, though. And honestly the pump itself needs to be replaced every 1.5-2 years even if you clean it well.

My cat would always try to drink out of people cups, so I conceded. There are tea cups on the ground in the hallway for him.
