You have a beautiful cat. If this is your first cat, there may be some things you don't know but let me tell you if your son loves his Beta fish then you need to cover the fish bowl!!

It is a cat's nature to prowl and hunt. If you find the bowl empty some day, it's quite likely that part of your cat's DNA kicked into gear and he simply was intrigued by this thing swimming by and taunting him and he reached in and pulled it out and ate it. It's also not healthy for a cat to drink from a fish bowl. The cat needs a fresh bowl of water every day and not with a fish pooping in it. Just a couple of suggestions. All the best to you and Tygi.
