These beautiful ceramic works of art are not just another pretty piece of sculpture, they are lovely little drinking fountains designed just for cats. Ceramic artist Keith Davitt has been refining his drinking fountain design for years and he has several styles that cats seem to love. What a great way to keep kitty hydrated and add a lovely fountain to your home.
These fountains are very simple, making them easy to keep clean. Each one comes with a unique glazed bowl and a pump, and most designs include a raised pottery piece that creates a little waterfall. The pump is hidden between the ceramic pieces and the cord goes neatly out the bottom portion of the bowl. All materials and glazes are certified food safe.
Keith sent us a fountain to test and, as you can see below, Simba loves it (and so do all the others!) The fountain was very easy to set-up and it looks so nice on the ledge above the kitchen counter. You can see the three simple pieces included in the package: bowl, pump with cord, and pottery cover for the pump. I adjusted the pump to create a little bubbling fountain because I like the sound of trickling water, but the pump can also be adjusted to keep the water moving silently.
The kitty below is Bijou, Keith’s cat who is the inspiration for his fountains. Keith is always experimenting with new fountain designs. You can see his latest work in his Etsy shop. Fountains range from $62 to $178, depending on the complexity of the design.

February 18th, 2011 at 11:06 am
This is so cool. Fonzie, who loves to stick his head under a lightly running waer faucet would love this too.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:06 am
Thomas would love this fountain so he doesn’t have to wait for me to come back from work and let the water running in the sink for him to have a drink…!!!!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:06 am
What a beautiful way to keep a cat happy and healthy. I would LOVE to win a fountain the color of the one Simba is drinking from, it matches the color of my kitty’s eyes!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:06 am
My guys would love this
February 18th, 2011 at 11:07 am
Ms. Bubbie would love her own running water! And I would love not running back and forth to the sink to turn it on and off for Ms. Bubbie at her command!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:07 am
Would love to have one of these for my son’s 3 kitties!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:07 am
Oh please let my hooman win this wonderful watery thing. My name is Zazie and I PROMISE to share it and will not splash water on my kitty sisters.
MEOW!!;)

This would be perfect for our Buffy & Spike who both love their water fountains and other running water, but have issues with the plastic that everything is made of.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:09 am
These fountains are so beautiful!! With many kittehs in the house this would be ideal to entice and assure everyfur drinks as they should. =^..^=
February 18th, 2011 at 11:09 am
Stylish and functional!! My guys would LOVE it!!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:09 am
These are beautiful! We would love to have one of these in our house.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:09 am
These are the nicest cat fountains that I have ever seen. I would love to get rid of the plastic contraption that I am currently using. My cats drink so much more water when I use the fountains. I just hate the fact that mine is made of plastic.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:10 am
I LOVE these! Such a great idea.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:10 am
oh wow, these are lovely! thank you for such a fabulous giveaway!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:10 am
Very nice! Ceramic fountains are so much better than plastic – easy to keep clean and look so much cooler. This one really does. Thanks for the offer!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:11 am
This is a very pretty and unique fountain. My cats would love to drink out of it, and so would my dog!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:11 am
Oh I want one of these so bad!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:12 am
Neat idea!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:12 am
Our cats love their drinking fountain, but it’s not beautiful like Keith Davitt’s fountains. I’d welcome one in my home.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:12 am
These are amazing! I would love to replace my plastic fountain with one of these beauts.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:12 am
Ok. My cat, yoda, needs a water fountain! He drinks out of my water glass on my night stand when I am sleeping. This cat LOVES running water. He waits by the bathroom door for you to walk by, then dashes in and jumps on the counter……meows until I turn on the faucet. He then drinks for a few minutes. Silly cat never turns the water off!!!!!
Yesterday he drank out of the bathroom faucet three times before lunch. He LOVES water. We let him drink asnmuch as he wants, wherever he wants. He is 13 years old and had some health problems last year. So, we are so lucky to have yoga, also known as dr schmodypants, around.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:13 am
Neko would love to have one of these! She hopes we win!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:13 am
These are so beautiful! It’s perfect timing too, as I just disposed of my cat’s ratty old fountain.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:14 am
Luv the one with a fountain that resembles a lotus flower. I know that my cats would love to have one of these!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:14 am
Not really modern but pretty good looking for a fountain.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:14 am
Since fountains became popular home decorations, I have never been able to look at one without thinking it would be a great drinking fountain. And now – taken to a new level – it would be the Cat’s Meow!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:14 am
How genius !!!! I would so love to turn my taps off and have them adapt to this !!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:15 am
I have been looking for a nice, non-plastic fountain for my allergic beasties. I prefer buying handmade, so this is perfect. I’ll be saving up!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:17 am
Simply beautiful work. My cats would be honored to drink from such a special vessel.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:17 am
These are fabulous! We don’t have a fountain … yet …
February 18th, 2011 at 11:18 am
Water water everywhere. Kitties like to drink.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:18 am
My kitty would have her own piece of artwork.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:19 am
OMG,i hope i win this one, i looooove ceramic bowls. I plan on making some myself but i need to figure out how and where to make a kiln.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:19 am
These are very lovely.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:19 am
Beautiful and functional at the same time!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:21 am
These are much more stylish then the plan jane ones in the store!!!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:21 am
“Such a beautiful piece of art!” (me) “Just think, if you win, I won’t leave paw prints in the bathroom sink any more! Good luck, Mom!”

February 18th, 2011 at 11:22 am
My gang would love this andthe best part is they wouldn’t have to share it with the d*g
February 18th, 2011 at 11:22 am
My tiny Herek, 5 months only know how to drink a bottle of rabbit, that fascinate you and me see him. It’s great!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:23 am
These are lovely, and I know my cats would love one. I had to give up the plastic fountain we had, because it was giving our poor cats acne – but I hated to do it, since they loved the burbling water so much. I’ve never seen ceramic versions before and I couldn’t afford one right now on my own. So please, online spirits, help me win this one!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:23 am
Wow! Those fountains are gorgeous! My eight indoor cats have 2 fountains (plastic) that they love but the fountains are not the prettiest things to look at, that’s for sure. How nice it would be to have something that looks like an art piece, yet satisfies my cats’ love for moving water!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:24 am
These look so great!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:24 am
If I get one of these maybe (just maybe) I can get my kitties to stop drinking out of the sink!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:25 am
Those are so beautiful!!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:25 am
We used to have a fountain, and Andy loved throwing the rocks out of it as much as he enjoyed drinking from it. Obviously his mom did not like that part so much. I love that these beautiful fountains would make both of us happy!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:25 am
stylish yet functional. pick me!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:27 am
Beautiful design and great idea. Ihave several candidates who would fight over this beautiful water indulgence
February 18th, 2011 at 11:27 am
My cats love to play and drink any moving water. This would give them a chance to do both.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:28 am
My baby drinks from a mass-produced ceramic cat fountain now, but these are original and beautiful! I just know that she would love one!
