ᐅ Is it possible to have a floor drain and a separate water line?

Hello everyone,
We are currently planning our house and kitchen.
We have two cats for whom we installed a "drinking fountain" right next to the sink in the guest bathroom. It has an infrared sensor and a separate connection to the water supply line beneath the sink. So far, it works well.
In the future, I would like the water for the cats to be in the kitchen, so we are not dependent on the guest bathroom door being open. However, I don’t want it at the kitchen sink, as the cats would then be on my kitchen countertop.
Ideally, I would prefer the whole setup to be on the floor.
My idea is now to have a separate water connection (similar to the one we have for the refrigerator ice maker) and a drain in the floor.
Would something like this be possible? Anyone have any ideas?
🙂

Currently, the drinking fountain is connected to the water supply below the washbasin using a T-piece.

Technically, it’s not a problem, but the costs can be quite high, especially if you have to work around underfloor heating, for example. Sometimes, a wall drain and a small platform might be sufficient.
I suspect that a renovation would be more expensive than simply leaving the guest toilet door open or installing a cat flap there.

We used to have a cat as well.
It just had two bowls, one for cat food and one for water.
You just had to refill them regularly.
I also think that installing a floor drain in the kitchen afterwards is quite a bit of work.
Especially since the entire kitchen floor under the screed actually needs to be insulated.

It's great for you and your cats that you were happy with bowls. Cats love running water. I love my cats. It's that simple. What an unfriendly and unnecessary comment from you.
And as mentioned: we are currently planning the house and kitchen. Nothing needs to be remodeled, the house has not been built yet.
