I found that a multi-tiered fountain with a gentle, cascading top stream and a wide, stable base works best. My Turkish Van loves batting at the water flowing over the upper levels, but the lower basin catches any drips before they hit the floor, so no splash zone develops.

I went with a heavy ceramic fountain that has a single, smooth dome-like top where water trickles down in a thin sheet. My Turkish Van spends hours pawing at that constant, even flow, and because the water simply slides down the dome into a deep, wide basin, there's no splashing at all - just a happy cat and a dry floor.

A shallow, wide ceramic fountain with a gentle, single-stream spout that arcs directly into a deep reservoir has worked perfectly for my cat. My Turkish Van loves to pounce on the falling stream, but since the water hits the basin surface with almost no force, there’s zero splash-just a focused, happy kitty.

A heavy stone fountain with a single, slow trickle over a smooth river rock surface keeps my Turkish Van engaged without a mess. She loves dipping her paw into the tiny stream that emerges from a small spout, but because the flow is so gentle and the rock absorbs most of the energy, there's never any water flying around. Just a dry floor and a very focused cat.
