Water fountains constantly re-circulate the water and they also filter out dust etc so the cats get a fresher supply. Water that sits in a bowl can be unappetising, especially for a cat who is a bit reluctant to drink. Bengals in particular seem to prefer moving water so fountains can be ideal for them.

I have to leave a bowl down too because the fountain needs mains and we get lots of power cuts where I live but given the choice, Dolly always drinks from the fountain. I don't think the moglets have worked it out yet.

its worth also noting that ALC's in the wild are EXTREMELY unwilling to drink from still water.

this is an evolutionary response to help reduce the chance of them contracting water-born parasites
