The 'BobbleKat' cat fountain is designed to enable pet owners to provide fresh water in an unexpected manner to their feline companions that will help to potentially keep them better hydrated.
Cats are very drawn to running water, so the 'BobbleKat' works to help keep water flowing in order to help attract cats to interact and have a drink. The 'BobbleKat' mimics the aesthetic of a frozen ice ball by placing the unit in the middle of a bowl of water. The cat fountain then draws the water upward from the main section of the bowl in order to keep it flowing continuously without needing to be refilled.
The 'BobbleKat' is the design work of Pauline Dziama, Xinran Zheng, Tony Nguyen and Cindy Stetson.
