Hello. About how long does your cat, on average, "adjust" to drinking from this? One day, two days? Thank you!

My cat has shown little interest in the bubbler, thus far, but he is about twenty-four years old, and perhaps not receptive to new things.

Mine did not take to it immediately. I tried the mixing of the granules with the regular litter and still they were not keen on using the Genie. I finally made them go "cold turkey" and took away their regular boxes. They did use the Genie but one of my cats is large and doesn't squat completely so urine was going into the mechanical areas that were not washed. The smell soon became apparent and with the effort it took to completely take it apart to clean it, I sent it back and went back to a traditional box. It is a nice concept but it just isn't worth the money and the difficulty with using it. Mine did not take to it immediately.

Hi Peter! My cat never drank out of a faucet. I have tried to get her interested in playing with it but.... She was cautious of the fountain at first. It took one day for her to walk up to it like she used it all of her life. Sometimes the water jumps and gets her in the face a little. This has not stopped her. I think that the new model is much easier to clean.

I noticed after a few days. I use one cap full in 4 cups water. I find that my cats sometimes prefer this in the glass water bowl vs the water fountain I have next to it which I cannot add the dental fresh to as it has a filter in it. As long as their breath doesn't smell I don't care.

It depends on your cat's behavior. In our case, one of our two cats mercilessly harassed the machine and chewed through its cord in an attempt to get it to give them more food, so for us it is not the kind of machine we could leave out and be sure our kitties are getting fed properly. But if you cats are less impish than ours, then I think it could be relied upon for a few days. When the cord was intact, it worked great and was very reliable, but we now are stuck trying to devise a way to keep them from chewing through the cord... which is a shame, because this machine was a godsend before my cat destroyed it!

Our cats have the catit fountain, and have been drinking from it from day one. They prefer it to "still" water in a bowl. My sister's maltipoo loves cat water as well, so I bought him one to use at his house. He seemed startled by it at first, but returned to it it after a walk the next day and has used it since with no trouble. I would give your kitty a couple days to get used to it.

We picked the size based on the amount of water our cat drinks. But we change the water about once every 5 days but most of the time he has drank most of the water in about 5 days. He loves his water station. There is one thing about the water station. It can not be completely filled. Most of the time after filling it, the level is about 60%. I do not know if all 3 sizes each holds 1 gallon of water. It beats using our old cat water bowl. We had to fill old bowl 2 times a day.

A couple of days.....it depends on how many animals you have using it. I have 2 cats. The noise isn't too loud or bothersome.

My pet is a small dog and it works very well. I put it in her drinking water. I would put a few drops on something your cat will eat - fish or cream cheese. Don't be afraid to use too much - 4 drops would be fine. It isn't a narcotic and won't dramatically knock your cat out. It takes the edge off. I also like a product called Composure.

I gave it to my cat daily for two weeks straight. She stopped crying in the box and the constant running back and forth to the box. I try and give it to her maybe 3 times a week for maintenance unless I notice a flare up. I actually spoke with my vet about it and she highly recommends using the cranberry as well as apple cider vinegar so now I am alternating the cranberry with 1/4 tsp of ACV. Seems to be doing good so far.

I found mine on here and it has worked out for me and my three cats you may need to buy three for you dogs. I fill them up every three weeks but with dogs you will have to see how they drink to do there. I love mine and I love the water one also got it so when I go on vacation just fill and don't have any worrys. I hope this will help you

Many thanks for this post - I'll be very curious to see how your cat reacts to the pet potty. My cat is old, hates all the other cats, and doesn't share anything - we have, it seems, much the same situation. Good luck!

Humm... my cats didn't know what to make of it at first, but they love it now. Maybe just fill it with water, without turning it on. Put it in your living area first, so you can see who is drinking and who is not. I have mine in my living room, it don't bother me at all. I hope this helps.

The instructions say, I believe, to clean it once a week. I think that is unrealistic. I'm lucky, or my cats are lucky, if I clean it once a month. I use distilled water so there is no mineral build-up. And I bought the cleaning brush set, which helps. But the whole process is a pain.It's worth it, though, because the fountain does get the cats to drink more, stay better hydrated, and healthier. One cat is doing much better with her cystitis. They also look awfully cute drinking from the fountain. I have other versions with more defined streams, which the cats like even better.

I bought this specifically for my cat. She LOVES it. It will go for 2 weeks without having to fill for me. With one cat. It had yo be almost empty before it makes noise.

my cats have no problem with the product. Maybe your dog objects to the flavor. Try a 1/2 dose and see if he will drink.

For my cat, about 3 weeks. Probably differs for others and also depends on how many cats are using the litter. Hope this helps.
