Ha! I have a fountain with the same spout, but luckily mine has a splash guard because my cat drinks out of it the exact same way as yours. As goofy as it makes them look, it’s an awesome fountain, my cat is extremely well-hydrated.

    Yeah I had some cheaper one first and found it hard to clean and you had to unplug it to move it to refill it.

    The only complaint I have about this one is that the filters that came with it , made my cat sick.

    They have some orange resin in them that leaks into the water if you don't replace them after 14 days. It was like day 16 and noticed my cat had diarrhea and checked the fountain to find orange residue in the water and sides of tray part.

    So I bought carbon fiber fishtank filters. The sponge kind. And cut out shapes to fit. And I can clean them pretty well and reuse them. They catch hair and bits of food.

    No risk of anything leaking into the water.

    I saw other reviews on Amazon of people saying the filters were toxic.

    Idk if you had problems with them.

    I get that I left it in a few days longer than it said to. But the fact that it made my cat so sick so fast was too risky for me. Plus they aren't cleanable/reusable.

    2 disposable filters a month is kind of ridiculous. They aren't crazy expensive but not cheap either.
