| DESIGN NAME: Lucky-Kitty Cat Drinking Fountain PRIMARY FUNCTION: Cat Drinking Fountain INSPIRATION: Cats are genetically programmed to drink running water, so cats that are only given standing water usually don't drink enough - and this often leads to serious long-term health problems like urinary tract and/or kidney diseases. This drinking fountain encourages cats to drink plenty of water and helps cat-owners safeguarding the long-term health of their cat. With its three different drinking zones, the Lucky-Kitty Drinking Fountain caters for cats individual drinking habits. This is why virtually any cat will take to it. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The "Lucky-Kitty Drinking Fountain for Cats" is probably the first ever drinking fountain for cats, that really can be used on a daily basis.
