"Ok I was tentative to get this because of the mixed reviews but it was just TOO cute and I couldn’t resist! And a good thing, too, because me and my 2 cats absolutely love this little thing. My older tabby likes to drink the falling water from the petals and my kitten prefers to lap from the water..."
