Do reef/ fish tanks and cats mix?

Reasons for Cats:
1.) You can leave them alone for a few days
2.) Who doenst like a little pussy... ...cat.
3.) www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/
Thats about it.

Reasons against cats:
1.) Daily Litter box cleanings
2.) The smell of canned cat food
3.) Cat hair that gets everywhere
4.) Hairballs
5.) Spraying everything (shoes, clothes, walls, doors, etc.)
6.) Constant mischief
7.) Eating house plants
8.) Cat Barf after eating plants
9.) Darting to get out and having to chase cats back in the house
10.) Meee oooowing
11.) Those stupid bird like chirps they do
12.) Running their tails under they backs of your legs when your sitting
13.) Drooling
14.) Constantly being under foot
15.) Lightning laps past you
16.) Always being stared at
17.) Their nocturnal nature
18.) Tipping over any glass that contains water trying to get to the bottom
19.) Scratching, boxes, couches, carpet, clothes, etc
20.) Thinking everything that is in a can is for them
21.) Giving them medicine
22.) Bathing them after they roll in something they killed

Well thats about enough for now...

Quickly learned to move the cat tree because my little bengal left a scratch on the acrylic the first week I got him. He hasn't touched the tank since but he'll sit and watch the fish from time to time (from a distance). I still wouldn't trust him with the right opportunity.

My cat went for a swim in a 90g with two very large Jack Dempsey's when he was a kitten(12 years ago) and that was all it took, now he steers clear of any tank in my house

My GF has 2 cats, one is too fat to get up onto my tank, but the older one I will catch on top of the canopy from time to time. He gets 8 shots from my nerf gun as he is running away. He knows he's not supposed to be up there, but that doesn't stop him.
I Keep the nerf gun on the bookshelf next to the tank in hopes that it keeps him away, and it works for the most part, but still far from 100%.

Our small tabby will sometime jump on the hood but my Maine Coon has no interest in the fish tank....probably a good thing since he weighs 27 lbs
