The "Raindrop" style fountain that says it's easily knocked aside, causing overflows. My cat likes to paw at the water. Any issues with Big Max?

I have a cat that does that as well. The pump bowl section is pretty heavy. I haven't had any problems with it.

I have two 90 - 100 lb. dogs (a Golden plus an Airedale mix) that slurp from this thing constantly... plus one cat. No issues of any kind - this is the best thing I have ever found - holds a full gallon of water, I put frozen "ice" blocks in mine (easy to clean and lots of room). Everybody loves it. Filters work great - I replace them about once a month so buy extras. Great price.

My adult male cat climbs on this all the time and it has never spilled. Even though the top part only sits in the bottom part it seems to be pretty secure.

This one is not easily knocked over. I have 6 cats + 8 kittens and quite a few of them like to paw at the water. It would take all their might to push this thing, but the base is so wide and heavy (ceramic) that I don 't think they could ever tip it.

I've been grabbing some very cheap SS pet bowls from the dog section of a local discount store. I have cats, but the dog bowls are big and deep enough to hold the fountain and still provide room to drink. Anything made for pets will be designed with a wide flat bottom and will be resistant to tipping. You don't want to use something like a SS mixing bowl. Bergan makes some nice inexpensive ones.

You adjust water flow with the little knob lesding to the pump. You can make it lower or higher, whichever hight you want it. Never had any problems......all my cats love to drink out of it.

Hi ,there is marking for min or max water level..I don't know how much water it holds.This is pretty big fountain..I have only one cat and she like it.I even bought for my son's pets.

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat and can't get it to flow evenly either. Cats still enjoy it so I haven't worried too much.

I have mine set to have the water flow out gently. The flow strength is adjustable. The water in the lower portion of the fountain has very little movement and the unit itself is very quiet. My cats love this fountain.

D.M. Annunziata's problem described what happened when my cat used his claw and punctured the plastic inner liner of the collar, although it was definitely not slack after my husband inflated it. I'm wondering how it is that the liner under the blue cover was not at all like the "thick vinyl" reminding "Joan" of beach ball material. By the way, the Elizabethan collar available through veterinarians also presents a problem in that it is extremely difficult for a cat to be able to drink successfully from its water bowl since the "EC" gets in the way.

We haven't had that problem and our 5 yr. old still acts like a kitten. Worst problem we've had is a little wetness around the bowl from kitty playing with the water. It's a cool fountain in that it has 2 top reservoirs and the waterfall.

It's pretty low when it starts making noise and yes I think a cat can use the large version, if its a bigger cat. if you get one it's important that you clean it every time you fill it. Check the directions and clean the pump, it does come apart to clean. We love ours and so do our shorthairs!

The reason I purchased this type for drinking is that the sound of the water overflowing into the well seems to attract my cat so the cat will drink more water..I bought this type for this reason..you can just use a big bowl instead of this drinkwell..

It moves a trickle down the spout, like what is shown in the picture. It's enough for a dog or cat to lap up. For bigger dogs or dogs that are really thirsty, they can drink out of the bowl, too. I would say the trickle is about what you'd use when leaving a hose on a tree during a dry-spell -- nice and slow.Oh, and I haven't had any problems with the motors on either of the two fountains I have from Drinkwell, and I've had them for several years now.

It is fairly back heavy where the pump is. My fountain is somewhat near a corner on the floor, so my cat's don't even try and get behind it - mainly cause they wouldn't be able to reach the water then as the pump would be in the way. When its 1/2 full of water, its still pretty heavy and stable. Never had a problem with my two cats even spilling any water out of this.

Didn't have that problem but had a major problem with the water spilling outside the waterfall. Discovered I had to line up all the spouts and covers perfectly. Once I started being careful about this, it's been working like a charm and the cats love it! I read one person complain that he had to refill it more often than his last bowl, but I honestly believe that's because his cats are drinking a lot more each day. I would say if you line everything up and the water doesn't circulate, there is a problem and you should exchange it. Good luck!

As of right now, I still think they don't like to drink from it... I heard a report (from my wife) that she saw one of the two cats drinking from it, but I have not been able to verify this myself. I have filled it up with water twice because it went below the fill line, but I'm not sure if that is due to cats drinking the water or evaporation.

I don't know for sure, I don't have that problem with my cats. I did spray some water around the edges where the top connects to the bottom and there was no leakage. The only problem I see is if your cat sprays toward the entrance to the box.

There is a float so they don't overflow. You can adjust the float if you think there is too much water in it. It refills as the dogs drink from it. They are pretty stable and my dogs (boxer and coon hound) have never tipped it over. We live in the desert and it is so important the dogs have a ready, fresh supply of water and this dish provides it.
