Reply to Cat water fountain recommendations? by mokie_sassafras

Pricey but we have this and love it. https://aquapurr.com/

We've had it for a couple of years now and no issue at all (other than our cat is dumb as a post and it took her a bit to learn lol). The owner was really wonderful to deal with as well. My favorite thing is it's fresh water without having to deal with filters and stuff. Would recommend!

TBH this will be driven by your cat's preferences so you might need to try a few models before you're successful. Our cat likes to drink from the bathroom sink faucet, so we thought a ceramic water fountain would replicate her sink-drinking preference. Nope, she thought the $100 ceramic fountain was the devil incarnate. Later we tried the plastic daisy one that costs $30 at big box pet stores, and she loves it. I would've preferred the ceramic over plastic, but in the end the best fountain is the one she drinks from

I have had this for almost two years. I did replace the plastic container that holds the pump and filter after about 18 months, but they are available on the website. You can also buy replacement pumps if needed. I had another pet fountain for a few years, but this one is much easier to clean. I put mine in the dishwasher, but it could easily be handwashed since there aren't any weird crevices. I follow the manufacturer recommendations and replace the filters about every two weeks since my cat has Stage 3 kidney disease and drinks a ton.

You can buy a small water pump online or in the aquatic section of a big box store and put it in whichever bowl your cat is used to or prefers, so long as the water level is high enough to clear the pump. Most of the pumps have adjustable "speeds" so you can make a big fountain or one that just moves the surface of the water.

That being said, I currently have a ceramic one that I'm enjoying and both my cats seem to like. I used an old pump in it since the pump included wasn't adjustable. Downside of it is that when the water level gets low, it doesn't pump into the upper tray, which can risk leaving your cat without water. But that's a theoretical.

Reply to Thoughts on Waterfield bags? by this_for_loona

I've been buying their stuff since December 2001 or so, when they were the first to come out with a protective case for the original iPod. They still make a wide range of ultra-specialized bags no one else makes. I have their Mac Pro 2013 cylinder bag, for instance, as well as the one for the Mac Mini, Mac Studio and the AirPod Max.

Their laptop sleevecases are the absolute best in the market.

I've owned their excellent Vertigo and Muzetto North-South crossbody messenger bags, and have their packable backpack (doesn't wrinkle so you don't look like a hobo, but doesn't pack very small either). Their bags are great, if you like the style, however they don't have them in highly technical lightweight materials like X-PAC or Dyneema.
