Below is a comparative video demonstrating the Drinkwell Platinum Cat Fountain and one of my handmade, ceramic cat fountains. Not mentioned in the video are all the undesirable attributes of the plastic fountains: Very hard to clean, harbor bacteria, can cause chin acne, etc…
Ceramic fountains, on the other hand, don’t scratch and don’t harbor bacteria, are easy to clean, have no undesirable effects and are much better looking.
