Measuring 30 x 23 x 14 cm and with a capacity of 1.5 liters, the Lucky-Kitty Cat Drinking Fountain is designed to provide a continuous flow of fresh water for your feline friend. The special low-energy-consumption pump ensures a quiet operation, allowing your cat to drink in peace.
Simplified to the maximum possible, the Lucky-Kitty drinking fountain is built from just four parts. A lower shell holds 1.5 liters of water, while a special low-energy-consumption pump is connected with a silicone tube to the upper shell. Both shells are separated by a silicone ring to avoid disturbing sounds in operation and fix the shells in place.
The Lucky-Kitty Cat Drinking Fountain is the result of three years of research and development. The design team, along with a panel of 300 cat owners and their cats, conducted market research to understand the drinking behavior of cats and the usability for owners. Nearly a dozen prototypes were created and tested, with important usability input taken into consideration for the final product.
One of the biggest challenges in the design process was producing the fountain in ceramics. The inside rounded ledge of the upper shell posed difficulties in meeting the special production capabilities of ceramics without compromising the design concept. However, the team overcame this challenge and created a beautiful, functional, and hygienic drinking fountain for cats.
The Lucky-Kitty Cat Drinking Fountain has received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2016. This award recognizes the outstanding expertise and innovation demonstrated by the design. With its strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, the Lucky-Kitty Cat Drinking Fountain introduces positive feelings, amazement, and wonder to both cats and their owners.
