  • Cats LOVE to drink from flowing, trickling water. This DIY drinking fountain inspired by chirpycats.com is easy and takes only minutes to construct. Place it on a table or outside in a "catio" to provide your kitties with clean fresh water, or as a decorative fountain for a source of calm in your home!

    Thank you for your kind words. We lost our little boy over a year ago due to a birth defect we had no control over. But we still remember Butchie with such love and beautiful memories. Sometimes it hurts for me to watch this video, but also reminds me of the happy times I had with him.
    Having said that, we still have our other kitty and we still have our fountain. I change the filter every two weeks, and use filtered water. I clean the entire bowl and the rocks, and clean the little pump. I just rinse with warm water in the sink, and clean out the tube with a small brush. Bonnie loves this fountain sooo much.

      I’m so sorry for your loss! You were a wonderful cat mom, though. Look at that beautiful project you accomplished just for him!🥰

    Thank you so much! This video showed that I can probably do this, too. My husband is reluctant to spend a lot of money on a cat fountain, and I would rather have one that blends in more than the commercial ones for sale. I think I'll look for some beautiful pieces at the thrift store to use as a base. You, your cats, and the fountain are beautiful!

      It is so simple. Keep it clean by dismantling every week and adding fresh spring water daily!

    Thanks for sharing the video! I've been wanting to make a fountain for my cats. Seeing what other people have created is helping me decide what might be best for both my cats, they have different drinking habits. My newer rescue was a street kitten and I think that may be why she loves running water so much, she's probably used to drinking rain water. She'll do some really goofy things like sit behind me on the radiator and watch me wash dishes, follow me to the bathroom and sit on the edge of the tub while I shower, follows me to the humidifier and tries to drink the water as I refill it. She's quite entertaining.

    Love this! You made it look so easy without so many steps like others DIYs! And both of you are so cute 🥰 I loved how he drank on cue! 😊❤️. I’ve been looking for DIYs because if gets too expensive to buy the damned store filters, and still don’t work! My cat’s fountain gets slimy still even when the fountain is stainless steel! 😤
    Do you think I should use distilled water instead? I’m worried about my cat drinking faucet water..😥
    Beautiful fountain and kitty! ✨🥰✨

    How is cleaning it?

      The cleaning is moderately easy, and should be done every week.

      The stones used for this fountain are called river stones, which can be found at a garden store or any craft store.

    • @TheAlvinvision
      @TheAlvinvision  3 года назад +1

      I stop the pump, take it out and change the filter. I haven’t had to completely empty the water yet to do a deep cleaning because we use mountain spring water or filtered water anyway...but it is almost time to do that.

  • @kathrinagiordani1605
    @kathrinagiordani1605 3 года назад

    How often do you change the water?

    • @TheAlvinvision
      @TheAlvinvision  3 года назад +4

      Hi, Kathrina! For ME, since the water is filtered, we change the filter every two or three weeks. The water recycles so I don’t empty the water. I also use spring water or filtered water, and stay away from the faucet. The kitties drink it down so much that I have to refill it every morning.
