Keeping Watch

[Freedom]

How funny!

Oh I hope he doesn't decide to leap, and knock the entire thing over!

Back when I lived in the apartment, and had just started fish keeping, I had a 10 gallon tank. I kept it in the living room. There was a "window opening" from there to the kitchen, and I had it under that. I knew my neon tetras kept disappearing, and I'd never find any bodies in the tank or filter, just couldn't figure it out.

Then I was awaken at 2 AM one morning by a SPLASH! Got up, and there was 2 year old Sparkle (she is now 14!) standing with her front paws on the edge of the tank, and her back paws IN the tank doing up and down dancing. She'd been fishing, from the "window ledge!" Good thing I got up, before she tipped the whole thing over getting out!

Next day, I bought a tank lid! Amazing, the fish stopped disappearing!

Oh My Goodness! Do you think one day he will actually jump in with the fish??? I think I would be concerned a bit but you know your cat better than I do. Kay in NC

He has put his paw in a couple of times but didnt like the wet stuff he encountered I hope he doesnt tip it over though.. what a mess. Fortunately it is very heavy so I don't think he will manage it.

I hope his patience runs out before his determination...can't imagine him trying to jump in but who knows...

Sir Napoleon, you are such a handsome kitty watch-keeper! Gentle *kiss* to you from me.

One day, his focus will be on his target only, and in he will go.....he will not like the results.. But I got to say, that is a really pretty thing you have for the fish and Napoleon is a beauty!
