Today, I bought a fish. I put the tank on top of the fridge so my cat wouldn't get at it. I'd forgotten to buy some things for its tank, so I quickly ran out to get them. When I got home, I saw the tank destroyed on the floor, and my cat devouring my fish. I had the fish for less than an hour. FML

Today, I bought a new Siamese Fighting Fish. I was so happy with my new fish so I bought him an expensive lovely bowl, some weeds, and a toy for the bowl. I left the room to get the fish food. When I returned, the fish was gone, and the cat was sitting on the table. FML
Today, I heard a loud crashing noise. I ran into the kitchen to see what it was. My cat had knocked over my fish bowl and had my Beta in her mouth. After scolding her and rescuing it, I decided to clean its bowl. When I went to dump some of the water in the sink, my fish went down the drain. FML

Today, I bought a fish bowl and a fish for $15. I brought him home and sat him on my desk. Everything was going well until the shelf gave out and his bowl slid off of the shelf... onto my $2,000 computer. The computer is fried and is not covered by the insurance, the fish is fine. FML
Today, I was walking to the pet store to buy a month's worth of fish food for my fish so I wouldn't have to come back for a while. For fish food it was expensive. It was also surprisingly heavy and I had to carry it back to my house. When I got home, I saw my fish floating at the top of its bowl. FML

Fish: Oh jeez where am I? Cat: Well well well, looks like Christmas came early...or late. Either one works. Fish: Must swim away. Wait. Crap.

Thts crazy. My fish tank has a heavy closed lid on top and my cat has never touched it.

I think we all know that to show the cat who's the boss, you need to purchase a piranha. I promise your cat won't try to eat another fish again. If it lives... Bwahahaha

Pirahna are not very threatening to anything without the whole school with them, and even then they're mainly scavengers, not predators.

If you really must keep a fish and a cat in the same house, never allow the two to be unattended in the same room. How hard is it to close one damn door before going out?

Oh, and I know this works because my family has had cats for years, and when we also had fish we kept them in one of the bedrooms. Lived as long as you'd expect a fairground goldfish to live.

My cat and fish were in the same room unattended as often as the cat wanted to. It's not a problem for everyone.

cats get anywhere and everywhere ALWAYS lesson #1

Lesson learned. Cats can do anything they want, even if you think it ought to be physically impossible. Closing the door is not even gonna do the trick, as quite a few cats are capable of opening closed doors by jumping up and hitting the handle.

One of the many reason to have door knobs and not handles!

#73 My cat can easily open doors with knobs. Even if we take the knob off so it's just a square post. He doesn't even have to jump, just stretches (he has relatively long legs).

I knew the outcome by 'put tank on top of fridge'. So clearly, YDI.

The only way you'd really have protected that fish is if you had put your fridge ON TOP of the fish tank. ( as some determined cats can easily open any kind of fridge...mine does!! ).
