Does your cat like to drink water from a running faucet? Well, you’ll love this new ceramic cat fountain from Keith Davitt at Thirsty Cat Fountains. Keith’s gorgeous handmade cat fountains are not only beautiful to look at but they are perfect for keeping kitty hydrated. All of his fountains are made with 100% food-safe ceramics that don’t scratch like plastic fountains, which can harbor harmful bacteria. The new Cat Tap design includes a copper spout that gives kitty a constant supply of running water without making you stand at the sink. Copper is naturally antimicrobial, inhibiting the growth of bacteria. The Cat Tap can also be added on to most of Keith’s fountain designs.
We’ve been testing the new Cat Tap fountain and everyone loves it, especially Ando. I seem to find him drinking more often with this design. We have the the larger capacity fountain which is very nice with multiple cats. You can adjust the pump speed to create a soft running water sound or no sound at all. The fountain is really easy to clean and it adds a lovely water element to the room.
Don’t forget, Moderncat readers can always get 10% off Keith’s fountains by entering the coupon code MODERNCAT when purchasing from his Etsy shop!

I love the Celadon. It makes me want to decorate my floor. Or, build a ladder to a shelf where the water bowl is so it can be seen!!

I’m sorry but those fountains that are sold in stores are ugly. These are beautiful and are works of art.
August 27th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
i have 5 cats and ever one would love the Celadon one they always want to drink from the tap and this looks so good and i would save on my water bill
August 27th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Down with plastic, a water dish that looks like a work of art. Better than the kitchen facuet
August 29th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
Celadon Melt is beautiful. If I don’t win, I shall definitely buy one. I have now had 2 plastic Cat-it models and it is time to ditch plastic! It’s great that demand is high but not when you want to buy one and there’s none available.
Soon, I hope. Congrats to the artisan as they are not only worksmof art but very practical/functional. Kudos!
