About this product
The Catit PIXI Stainless Steel Drinking Water Fountain offers a convenient way to provide your cat with fresh, running water – something cats naturally love. This fountain is designed for all life stages, ensuring your feline friend has access to clean hydration and encourages regular drinking habits. It's particularly well-suited for owners looking to support their cat’s kidney function and potentially reduce the risk of urinary tract issues.
This fountain features a shallow bowl design which minimises whisker stress, making drinking more comfortable for your pet. There are three distinct drinking options available: a bubbling top, a stream with a spout, and a calm flow – catering to even the most discerning cats. The fountain includes a visible water level window allowing you to easily monitor the remaining water volume, alongside built-in sensors that automatically power down the pump when the water is low, protecting the unit from damage.
The fountain incorporates a high-quality, ultra-quiet pump, designed to reduce animal stress and anxiety while creating a comfortable environment for your cat. A stainless steel top resists scratching and bacterial build-up, and the triple-action carbon filter removes magnesium and calcium, reduces odours, and filters out hair, sediment and impurities – keeping the water fresh and clear.
Please note that the carbon filters require replacement approximately every four weeks. The fountain also includes a built-in LED nightlight which flashes red when the water level is low, aiding your cat’s ability to find the fountain after dark.
