I want this for my cat but i dont want to have to clean up a mess afterwards (currently using sink and its messy). Is it accurate and semi clean?

If you do short tap shots (don't extend the plunged all the way) this could work. However, a microburst or an electrostorm would be more ideal for that purpose.

I really don't know about your cat. We use our soaker to keep squirrels from climbing up the screen around our patio. It is not harmful but they do not like the spray. It shoots out a spray somewhat like the shower. If you sprayed it all in one spot, it would probably make a puddle. If you are trying to give your cat a bath, the cat would probably scratch you and tell you it doesn't like baths. I find it hard to envision what you plan to do. Best advice is send your cat to the vet for a bath and pick up a nice clean cat later. Use your soaker to play water spray games when the weather is hot. I am very allergic to cats!

It is fairly accurate and the water is as clean as what you put in it. Distance varies by how fast you pump it. It shoots out a pretty good stream, so it isn't really for indoors.

That's actually what I got it for (2 cats & a dog) & it works perfectly. No leaks, pretty accurate. It sprays a lot in one shot but you can adjust by not pulling the "trigger" all the way to get a shorter burst. It will leave a short line of water on the floor though, that's unavoidable. Still one of the better cheap squirt guns I've used to keep the dog out of the cat's dish and the cats off the counter.

I have not had an issue with mine. i do a good cleaning a few times per week. I love the sink and recommend it!

I'm not quite sure what you mean about too, but I have 10 cats drinking from the fountain and refill daily. Completely take it apart once a week and wash with white vinegar then rinse with water, I run warm water through the sponge and wipe down other non submersible parts and put it all back together... I've had mine a few months now and by cleaning weekly I've found it keeps it working properly and it doesn't slow down. Compared to others on the market, this is the easiest to clean and operate and aside from being stylish compared to the plastic ones out there that burn out within a month, I highly recommend this one.. Well worth the money! The maintenance is super quick and easy! I'm not quite sure what you mean about too, but I have 10 cats drinking from the fountain and refill daily.

Yes, and no. My cats have sometimes have diarrhea, and while it "sticks" to the sides, it is VERY easy to clean. If it's not caught right away (such as in a case of it happening overnight), I've found that it's still very easy to clean off. I THINK it's due to whatever makes the plastic so smooth...hm...lacking a better word right now...polished??? I would hesitate to use an abrasive cleanser on this litter box for fear it would damage this "polish" and, frankly, I've never needed anything more than dish soap and warm water. Enjoy!

Somewhat better. I'm just not a fan period. With four cats in a small apartment, I've found the unparalleled best in clumping and odor control to be Scoop Away. Followed by Fresh Step. Unfortunately Arm and Hammer just doesn't cut it in clumping, lasting, or odor control. Good luck :)

You can use the Petsafe simply clean cotinuous - clean litter box we had two of them . We like it I think you will too. Andrea it will help you out it and your cat will like it too.

My cat has never had any problem with this fountain. I have heard that cats like running water and the fountain makes me feel better because the water is filtered and stays cleaner in general than still water in a dish.

It is easy to clean, however I would not buy it from here again because it is such a rough cut it will scratch your sink. Check Walgreens they have better ones.

I think it would be OK. One of my cats had some sort of accident on it--throw up or worse--and it did not go through to the floor. The only think is you have to be careful carrying it if you take it to clean it, as it is open on both ends.

we have had a Biddy Cat for several years (5+) and love it! We recently purchased a second for "just in case" and will use it while cleaning and soaking the other with bleach. Don't foresee tossing the old one as it cleans up with bleach.

Yes - I've found the grates get clogged with clumping litter, especially if they pee near the sifter. We tried almost every kind of litter, but in the end we went with non-clumping crystal litter or as an alternative non-clumping clay. After the crystals are spent we take off the hood and tilt the box backwards into the waste bin. Then we refill with fresh litter. That's made the box well worth the price for us. We have 7 cats and this has cut down on litter box maintenance considerably for us. We own two of these plus our normal cat boxes. I much prefer cleaning this box to the others.

I have had one for 3 months now with no issues. I have extended both pipes to 16foot (water(smooth) and drain(ribbed)). the drain pipe runs at floor lvl. then up about 3-4foot to the drain and has 2 connection in it. for easy to clean if anything gets stuck in it. The water pipe has a cut of vale where it connects to the mains. after my setup i done one dry run. and everything worked and lasted around 20-30mnis. the 2nd run i put in what was left over in the old cat tray (around 5 big bits of you know what) and it picked them all up and flushed them all away with out any problems. I have not had one issue from the unit apart from the pellets do seem to get everywhere but it is wooden floors and we do not have a mat at the unit. but no problem for us. We have not had any smells but thus far not had any left overs when the dry unit kicks in. well to what i have seen but i don't watch it when it does it work. some times when i walk in to the room that has the unit i see the cat on the shelf watching it clean away. both cats used this unit within 2 days but the old cat litter tray was in bad shape and one of the cat has an issue to use the carpet if the litter tray is bad. this is why we get this unit. as we can both h8 cleaning the old litter tray out.

I have had mine for 24 months and looks brand new. Takes about 5 mins. to clean out. Love it. Am actually going to purchase one for my son for his 2 cats.

I have no complaints on the overall design other than the small cleaning woes. My medium-sized dog does fine with it. She has no interest in drinking from the fountain portion as she's not used to drinking that way. A cat, on the other hand, may prefer this particular feature.

I love mine and have no problems with it. I would gage how often you need someone to come by based on how often you empty it while you are home, because all cats are different. I have one cat and only have to empty about every three days

It flows well. Occasionally I have to tap it to get the food to flow fully into the bowl. The cats just use their paws to pull some down when that happens, so there's no danger anyone will go hungry.

If you don't clean it regularly yes. But it isn't nearly as bad as other fountains. Actually it was my favorite cat fountain thus far. The blue light really mesmerized them.
