Ceramic raindrop spout — quieter, heavier, harder for cats to tip
About $40–$70
Ceramic fountains stay put and often run quieter than light plastic. Raindrop-style flow appeals to cats that prefer falling water. Still scrub weekly — biofilm does not care about aesthetics.
Who it's for: Cat owners upgrading from plastic fountains for stability and look.
Skip if: You want the cheapest possible fountain — Catit Flower wins on price.
