Catit Pixi Fountain

The problem

The Catit Flower Fountain is effective but wide — it takes up significant counter or floor space. Owners in small flats, or those who want a fountain that fits in a corner without dominating the room, have limited compact options that still offer proper filtration and a visible water flow.

What tends to help

The Catit Pixi is tall and narrow rather than wide. It produces a gentle top-flow stream visible to cats approaching from across the room — a movement cue that encourages hesitant drinkers to investigate. The triple-action filter handles debris, softens hard water, and reduces odour. Capacity is 2.5 litres.

A straight answer: The pump is rated as quiet but some users report it becomes noisier as the filter collects debris — cleaning the pump weekly is the fix, not a hardware fault.

Common questions

How does the Catit Pixi compare to the Catit Flower Fountain?

The Pixi is taller and narrower, making it better for small spaces. The Flower Fountain has a wider base and a more distinctive stream design some cats prefer. Both use similar filtration. Choose Pixi for space constraints, Flower Fountain if size is not an issue.

Is 2.5 litres enough for two cats?

At the low end. For two cats, topping up every day or two is realistic. The Petlibro Stainless or Drinkwell Platinum offers more capacity if you want to go longer between refills.
