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 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.

Friggin cats eh? I don't trust them. I find they're worse than infants for getting into things they shouldn't be getting into.

Cats can get anywhere, even high up! Try to put a glass panel over the top of the tank (leaving an inch or so exposed so the fish can get air) I did that and my cats didnt get the fish

Seriously? You weren't smart enough to put the fish in another room? I have had cats all my life and I have fish tanks lining every shelf in my room. I have never had a problem since I am smart enough to leavew the door closed

You probably are feeling terrible about this and I'm sorry your fish died but you really should have kept them in separate rooms at least until the tank was secure. Well you know that now I suppose. Cats will be cats.

Fish aren't meant to live in a box, kid. It does things to ya. I guess you also forgot that cats are pretty good jumpers and are pretty determined little suckers. My cat still thinks that she'll get food if she keeps pawing at the automatic feeder.
