I have 4 cats and none of them give a hoot about the fish tanks. With the stand my SW is 2 feet off the ground, beside the fireplace which has a 2ft wide ledge 1ft off the ground. Only the dog cares about the tanks, the most the youngest cat will do is put his 2 front paws on the fireplace ledge and sniff the QT tank that I have on the ledge. The FW tanks are in rooms the cats dont usually go in but are super accessable by them and they just dont care. The SW and FW tanks are however covered in dog snot. I have a egg crate top just incase a cat does decide to care ;)

They eat and knock over house plants, destroy your work, scream and bark (my neighbor hears them), keep you up all night and sleep while you're away. But my personal new favorite.... Eat your freaking clothes.

But yeah they leave my tank alone.

Thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences, suggestions and funny stories... My boys really want to kitten so I will get one for them. If I do get one I will probably keep the door to the tank room closed for now. We are just waiting for the approval on the adoption papers...:biggrin:
