OT: Can you test for cats? Mine went fishing.

Stacef · 03-09-2008, 01:51 AM

While starting our make over of our tank today, I took the glass tops off of the tank walked out of the room to put them in the tub to clean. I just sat them in there, walked back into the living room, to see my cat launching through the air, landing flat in the middle of the tank. I think he thought the tops were still on.. But so I ran and by the time I got there, he managed to get out.

Mind you---this is NOT the first time he has done this. About a year and half ago, he went for a swim also. You'd think he would've learned. Or just wanted a bath... who knows!

So here's the soaked Drew!

Man, that could have had a bad ending if a cat jumped into our predator tank.

OMG that is TOO funny... I wish I had seen that.

My cat used to love to lay on top of my tank because of the extra warmth...especially when the lights were on. One day, I had the lid open when she jumped up...and right into the tank...she jumped right back out, but was mad at me all day, like I had done something wrong...

my cat like to just sit and watch for hours, then all of a sudden, a pounce on the side of the tank. I'm trying to get him to stop. Sometimes it keeps the Royal Gramma from eating, and the gramma hides in the bubble coral, so that is being effected as well. At least he's never jumped IN the tank.

Too funny!!! You could have a catfish tank!!! (Ohh come on you all saw that coming!!!)

Stacef · 03-09-2008, 01:24 PM

Hhaha yeah I kind of saw that one coming..
People always say, don't add anything you can't test for, do they make a kit for cats? haha. Poor guy. But he's back up on his chair today checking out the new look!

you have got to set up a video and try to get this diving cat on film. i agree can not help but think what if a predator tank, or better yet a lion tank.

Yeah, he would not be walking to well after that..if walking at all!

dfurbee · 03-10-2008, 04:19 PM

Would have loved to see that! My can is not even interested in my tank. I hold him up to the tank, there is even a chair in front of the tank....no interest at all. Sort of unusual for a cat.

lcstorc · 03-10-2008, 04:25 PM

Gee mine is just a kitty cat TV not a kitty bathing tub.

CATALYST · 03-10-2008, 04:37 PM

Heh, that's funny. Mine hasn't gone full in but I did come up short a peppermint shrimp.

When I still had a freshwater tank my cat nabbed one of my fish...she used to sit on the extra water bucket and I guess she just jumped up there...2 days later she was at the vet with dreaded WORMS. Lesson: keep lid on salt water tank at all times.
