A cat operated water fountain adapted for attaching to an indoor water faucet with a water sink. The water fountain includes a water diverter for mounting on the water faucet. The fountain also includes a water tube attached to the water diverter and to a pressure valve mounted on a pressure pad. The pressure pad is adapted for placing on a counter top next to the water faucet. Further, the fountain includes an inverted “J” shaped water spigot. A lower end of the water spigot is attached to the pressure valve. An upper end of the water spigot is placed over the water sink. When a cat stands on top of the pressure pad, the weight of the cat opens the pressure valve and water is directed through the water tube, through the pressure valve and through the water spigot for providing the cat a fresh drink of water.
