Cats are drinking loudly enough to hear from another room

"She's fourteen. I'd accepted that she just sleeps all day now. Three weeks in and she's back up on the windowsill in the mornings. I didn't think that was still available to us."

How it gets her drinking
Four things a bowl will never do
She drinks on instinct, not on command
Still water reads as old water to a cat. Moving water reads as safe. It is why she sits in the sink and stares at the tap.
KittySip is shaped like a tap on purpose. A falling stream, not a puddle with a pump under it.
No biofilm, so she never turns away
Plastic scratches, and bacteria settles into those scratches within days. She smells that film long before you would ever find it.
Medical-grade steel does not scratch, so there is nothing for bacteria to grip. The water stays as clean on week ten as it was on day one.
Water without the taste she hates
Tap water carries chlorine. You barely notice it. To her it is the reason a fresh bowl still gets ignored.
Three layers strip it out, along with the hair and sediment, so what is left tastes like nothing at all. Which is exactly what a cat wants.
You stop guessing and start knowing
Nobody can tell how much a cat drank from a bowl. That is the whole problem. The level barely moves and you assume she is fine.
The indicator on the side shows you the level dropping day by day, so you can see for yourself that she is drinking.
The professional view
Vets have been saying this for years
Hydration is the single thing an owner controls that shows up fastest in an older cat.
"A slightly dehydrated cat looks like an old cat. Owners see the bowl is full and assume everything's fine, when she hasn't touched it in days. KittySip gets them drinking properly, and within a fortnight most owners tell me the same thing. She's got her energy back."

Can we talk about price, please?
£59 is more than a water bowl. We know that.
And more than the £22 plastic ones. We respect the hesitation.
Here's the honest maths.
The plastic fountain is £22. Most people buy two before they give up, because the cat stops using it once the film forms. That's £44 for something now in the cupboard.
A single blocked bladder runs £800 to £1,200 at a UK emergency vet. It is one of the most preventable emergencies they see, and dehydration is behind it.
Filters alone cost around £28 a year. You get twelve in the box, so your first year is already covered.
Over the years she'll use it, that's pennies a week to stop the one thing quietly ageing her.
And if she never takes to it, you pay nothing. You have a full year to tell us.

Why we built this
One of our own cats stopped drinking. The bowl always looked full, so we never knew. By the time we found out, we'd been getting it wrong for two years.
Turns out cats avoid still water by instinct. The bowl we trusted was the problem.
So we built KittySip, and we back it for a full year. We'd rather you tried it than spent another year wondering.

💧How The Filters Work
KittySip™ uses a 3-layer active carbon filtration system designed to keep your cat's water clean, fresh, and drinkable all day.
Each filter combines high-density activated carbon, ion-exchange media, and fine mechanical filtration to target common tap-water contaminants:
- Removes up to 99.9% of chlorine, which affects taste and can irritate sensitive digestive systems
- Eliminates 95–98% of heavy metals like lead and copper that build up in the body over time
- Filters 90–95% of pharmaceutical residues commonly found in municipal water
- Traps hair, debris, and sediment before they reach your cat's bowl
Fitting one takes about five seconds. The filter drops straight into its slot inside the fountain — no tools, no tubes, no fiddly clips, nothing to line up. It only goes in one way, so you can't get it wrong.
Swapping it is the same in reverse. Lift the old one out, drop the new one in, close it up. That's the entire job, once a month, and you can do it with wet hands while the kettle boils.
You get 12 filters free with your order — a full year covered, with nothing to reorder and nothing to remember.

🛡️The 365-Day Guarantee
A full year to decide.
Use it, put it in the kitchen, and see what happens. If your cat never takes to it, tell us any time in the first 365 days and you get your money back.
No box needed, no photographs, and no explaining yourself.
🐾My cat has used a bowl for years. Can I transition her?
Put it where the bowl usually sits and leave the bowl out for a few days, so nothing feels forced.
Most cats investigate the sound within hours and have switched over inside two or three days.
Then the bowl goes away.
🌟She's already old. Have I left it too late?
No. Wanting moving water is instinct, not a habit. There is nothing for a senior cat to unlearn.
And hydration matters more as they age, not less. It is the one thing you can still control at home.
Older cats often take to it faster than anyone expects.
💛What if she just won't use it?
Then you've lost nothing.
Tell us any time in the first 365 days and we refund you. No box, no photographs, no explaining yourself.
