![]() I am considering getting a cute black kitten for my two boys but I am now concerned with the kitten may want to jump into the tank or go after the fish. Can anyone share of their experience, both good and bad and any suggestions if I do get the kitten?
Thanks Wayne |

![]() If fish ever jump out your cat will help you pick it up.

![]() I think it depends on your cat.
Lazy Maine Coon probably not a problem. Hyperactive Bengal may be curious and try to go fishing. Most don't like to get wet. I don't have a problem with my cat other than her trying to drink out of the ATO water. Simple lid solved that. |

![]() My tank is in the kitchen/dining area beside a counter. Our cat will sit on the counter or a chair and watch the fish for hours, but has never tried to jump in. He's curious but doesn't seem to bother them. My new tank won't be as accessible but last night caught him standing on his hind legs trying to look in it. I've caught him drinking the top up water as well...lid is coming....lol
My dog only cares when something new is added and it's because he gets jealous the attention isn't on him. |

![]() It may jump in the tank once but it will never do it again after that. Mine only jumped in once but the tank say there empty for a few weeks and the cat got use to hanging out in it. Then when I started filling it the cat had a little swim but it got out just fine.
Honestly though my best advice, don't get a cat, they ruin your life and live forever. |

![]() Litter boxes are not even close to an issue, catgenies work pretty good. My complaints are more along the lines of not being able to train them. They into everything, they learn to open cupboards and can reach virtually every height meaning no hiding spots. 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. |
