I love the unique look of this water bowl. I purchased it for my cat who just had a litter of kittens several weeks ago. It keeps just enough water in the bowl for them to drink without them getting soaking wet or making a mess on the floor by splashing around in the water bowl. It was easy to assemble and easy to clean. I like that it comes included with a filter and pads to put on the bottom to keep it from slipping across the floor. My cats love it so far and so do I!
