If your cat barely touches
their water bowl,
it's not because they're not thirsty.
Cats come from desert animals, so they don't feel thirsty very often — even when their body needs water.

Meet Purris - moving water, in a material that belongs in your home.
Most fountains solve the water problem and create a new one: a lump of plastic on your kitchen floor. We didn't want either compromise.
- ✓Ceramic, not plastic. Inert and non-porous - no plastic taste in the water, and none of the micro-scratches where bacteria settle over time.
- ✓Whisper-quiet pump. Runs under 30dB. Quiet enough you'll forget it's on - and gentle enough not to startle a nervous cat.
- ✓Looks like homeware. Weighty, considered, calm. The kind of thing a guest asks about - not the kind you hide when they visit.
Why your cat ignores the bowl
It isn't a personality quirk. It's hardwired - and once you understand it, the bowl stops looking like a solution at all.
A desert legacy
Cats descend from desert-dwelling ancestors who got most of their moisture from prey. The result is a naturally low thirst drive - they simply don't feel the urge to drink, even when they're running low.
Still water reads as risky
In the wild, standing water can be stagnant and unsafe. Moving water signals fresh and clean. Many cats instinctively favour running water for exactly that reason - a bowl works against that instinct.
The quiet health cost
Chronic under-hydration produces concentrated urine, which vets link to a higher risk of urinary tract disease and kidney strain. Cats hide it well - which is what makes it worth getting ahead of.
