I bought an early no-name model that smelled like chemicals. My cat smelled it twice & never went near it again. Does this one smell like that? Thanks

No, it doesn't smell. I've got a couple other fountains and my cats like this one the best. They can drink from the top piece without bending down.

Yes I'm afraid so. I had to send mine back even after replacing the water and rinsing the filter. Such a shame, since it's such a pretty product.

I did not notice any nasty smells. We did wash it before using it the first time, just in case.

We purchased this ceramic fountain because we did not like the way plastic is difficult to clean and just doesnt have the right look. This model: No smells, stays clean a ling time and the cat loves it.

No smell at all to this fountain. It is mostly porcelain with a few plastic parts, so it is not going to retain any odors. I do change the water daily and wash it thoroughly once a week. My cats have no problem drinking out of it. One cat drinks from the top of the fountain and the other drinks from the sides. They like it fine.

My cat will not use the product was used in the existing use.Contained in this product, do not try to drink water, do not use it now ... Not know whether the initial model of the nameless ...

Ours does not smell bad at all. Both our dog and cat love it and drink out of it constantly, often at the same time.

Our cats use the fountain and I don't smell anything chemical from it. That's strange about yips. Do you know what it could be?

I assume that you mean the disposable liners,I'm still using the one it came with. I have one cat also and I change the liner once a week on trash pickup day,though I never have noticed an odor with it. Personally I love it.

I don't think that it smells at all. I don't remember it being smelly when it was new either.

My SportCats are very old and I can't remember if they had any smell when first put into use but for years now they give off no odor while burning. The smallest space I've used one is a small bathroom in unheated house I'm renovating (small generator for some lights and tools but they can't power electric heat.) I have a finicky nose so I would smell "off" odors. I have several CO monitors in the small, slightly ventilated areas, and they have never been set off by any of my propane catalytic heaters.

I used to have a hamster to which I fed alfalfa pellets. This attractant smells like those alfalfa pellets. I don't sense a catnip smell.

I don't think it smells bad at all. I don't know the one you mentioned however so no clue if it would smell the same. I had my daughter check it and she says it doesn't have much scent at all and she has the nose of a bloodhound!

It has a very strong, distinct smell. I can't describe it because there's nothing else like it. Whoever said it has no smell, should get their sniffer checked! :)

Send it back. Try another one. They arent supposed to smell like that.I bought two and no smell like you describe.

Yes, after a while it does start to smell, I guess when the box can no longer absorb it. We have three cats and I think we change the 2 boxes every three to four months. This may sound like a lot, but cleaning these boxes is so much easier than the plastic boxes that it is worth it. They are sturdy so I use them alone. Just give them a try but don't throw out you old system until you are sure, but I love these boxes.

My cat didn't care for it at first, but mixed right in the food and he didn't even notice. I don't think had a strong smell, as for taste it's for pets so I have no clue.

He see me put it on and he runs for bowl.. my cat likes it and his hair look tons better. rescued cat. he looks allot better. the shedding has not totally stopped. but it's done wonders for his coat.

I have a sensitive nose. I did not notice a strong chemical smell even when the product was new. Now I stuck my nose right on it and gave a good sniff. There is a faint odor of neoprene or the like but not smell able from one foot away. I bought this product a bit ago and worry that the manufacturer changed suppliers for its raw materials since then so I am reluctant to reassure you.

I don't remember if it smelled the very first time out of the package. But it doesn't smell when I turn it on after having it for a year.

I have two cats and replace the pellets when I feel they are "getting old". Sometimes I replace them more than once a month and sometimes not. I do tend to add pellets when they are getting low. I don't notice that they smell or retain odor but as I said, sometimes they seem to need changing.

Agree with the other answers,funny the other day it occurred to me there was no !longer any odor from cat box in my apartment, something I've never experienced consitenly before this litter.

It has a noticeable plastic odor but not scented that I could tell. I returned mine because they were ridiculous. They had so many creases where the litter and urine got trapped that I could not scoop it. In addition, I have one cat that tries to dig to China and he pulled up the plastic making the creases worse. After the second day, I removed the whole thing and tossed it. I suppose this concept works if you never scoop and use non-clumping cat litter, but I cannot imagine people are that lazy. I decided to skip all liners and continue dumping and washing the pan once a month.

Since I haven't experienced either of those scents I really don't know. It smelled like a skunk spray or cat piss to me. Yes I've been unfortunate enough to know those smells.
