A terrible tragedy in the Raven household, the water fountain has died. The pets will be forced to drink still water until a replacement pump arrives. The indignity of it.

Lol you just reminded me of the time a housemate of mine (many moons ago) got one of those bamboo zen Feng Shui tabletop water fountain things for Xmas. The water was constantly needing to be topped up for some reason, and eventually the motor burnt out. The cat looked decidedly miffed at this turn of events.
Do you have a bath that the cats jump into? Maybe you could set up a bowl with the water just trickling a tiny bit into it?

I think she’ll be ok drinking from the bowl still, but the flowing water is definitely better.
Pumps often do tend to have a limited lifespan. This does vindicate my decision to pay for their 10 year extended warranty when I bought the fountain (something I normally don’t do as they are generally a bad deal). The standard warranty is 2 years, I’ve had it just under 3.

Sounds like you’ve already got it sorted, but if it’s anything like the pump in mine an aquarium one is identical and probably cheaper.
