    I mean… yeah.

    This should not need specific mention. But it’s good that these warning exists, anyways. But it’s also kinda obvious, you’re ordering from Aliexpress/Temu. It’s like those shitty china cat fountains that run the 220V line into the water basin and convert the power there. Because hey, why only fry your pet a little…

      Most people are used to devices being at least somewhat safe. They don’t expect devices they buy from a large online retailer to be that bad. A flaw here and there, sure, but basically a 100% chance of death? Yeah, that’s not exactly to expect.

      Huh, I never really put much thought into that

      My cat fountain uses a USB cable, so hopefully it’s only like 5v when it leaves the brick/adapter.

      The water fountain is a game changer, my male cat absolutely loves it. He washes his paws in bowls and doesn’t drink much, but with the fountain he drinks a ton of water.
