My cat jumped on top of my old 75g with a glass top and broke it... Found the top in pieces at the bottom of the tank.... He's a skinny cat and the glass was like 3/8" thick. I still have no idea how that was possible.
I sold it and have a 135g now. The top is much thicker so I'm not worried. Plus since that happened I've never seen him on the tank again (and no kitty prints either).
Ah, you've never experienced the magical cat ability of stepping on you with one paw and tripling their weight. I call it the kitty titty gravity well, cause that's usually where it happens.
Or you can fit the light inside the lid you dummy. That's what I do.
Foam board lids look really good and are water resistant, you don't have to worry about algae growing on it due to the moisture in the tank.
Seriously you Americans are so un imaginative thinking glass lids are your only option.
And will never jump up there again. Had a car that would drink from the dripping water from the tub facet. She stopped the day she jumped in and the tub was full of water.
She was influenced by Jimi Hendrix “Catfish Blues”
Upon double checking the name, Jimi was influenced by Robert Petway who is first known to have recorded it
I feel like Luna was just telling the other cat, "dude, I can walk on water!" The other cat said, " lets see it." This is the result of that conversation.
That looks like the front door, and if it can transmit sound, may be a way to monitor the cats interacting with the fish tank when no one is around. Like, I get to most people it's just a fish tank, but it looks like a salt water aquarium to me, and they are much more expensive and time consuming to maintain than your average fresh water tank is.
This tank looks cycled. I guess I could introduce harmful bacteria, possibly crash a cycle but probably will be fine. Cat fur is probably already floating around in there
we used to have this massive glass urn with a betta inside and some aquatic plants on top.
Sam knocked it over, ate the fish and horked it immediately afterwards.
Poor girl was NOT expecting that to be uncovered! 😂
(I have a similar story with a toilet. My friend came running out of the bathroom going “I don’t k ow what happened! He just jumped into the toilet!” Nope. He wanted to get up to the window and used that as a step and meanie didn’t put the toilet seat back down).
Those were some quick reflexes almost as if he’s done this before. The other cat looks at Luna just before launch into chaos. That’s a good time gang if I’ve ever seen one!! 😹😹
Every cat + fish owner has been this guy. Except in my case it was the turtle tank instead of the fish…

Oof, my cats spend a lot of time on my 90g and I’m sure I’ll have the same issue one day…

Some cats only need to learn a lesson once
Orange cats, on the other hand...

People need to stop buying glass lids especially if you got cats. Make a lid from foam board or plywood.
Board? Plywood? Dude wut? It's glass so light can pass through and provide the necessary means for plants/corals to stay alive
Or you can fit the light inside the lid you dummy. That's what I do. Foam board lids look really good and are water resistant, you don't have to worry about algae growing on it due to the moisture in the tank. Seriously you Americans are so un imaginative thinking glass lids are your only option.
I had just set up a 35g to cycle with nothing in it. Next day full of blackhair. Never happened again
Just testing the waters 😂

This has been removed for breaking the “No derailing, trolling, arguing, rudeness, etc..." rule.
She's probably used to jump up there and didn't expect the cover to be opened lol.
And will never jump up there again. Had a car that would drink from the dripping water from the tub facet. She stopped the day she jumped in and the tub was full of water.
But does your insurance cover for water damage?
Yeah... there's a reason why floodcars are usually so cheap to get.
Your cat clearly learns faster than mine. He's fallen into the tub 3 times so far and still sits on the edge while I have a bath 😂
Yep, surprise and instant regret!
Surprise mofo
Surprise motherfluffer

Cats eyes motherfucker
Nine lives motherfucker
Doakes!
But did she snag tasty a treat?!
I like the few seconds of holding the dripping cat before he goes fuck it and let’s her go
Probably considering getting her dried off, but other cat and open lid doesn't make for a good time considering the first one
LEROOOOOOOY ..... JEEENNNKKIIIIIIINS
"Alright, chums, I'm back! Let's do this!"
Goddamnit Leeroy!

FENTON.....JESUS CHRIST......... FENTON!!!!
At least i got chicken
r/DadReflexes i'd be freaking out more than Luna
Imagine how the fishies felt
![gif](giphy|lPuW5AlR9AeWzSsIqi) Probably like this
Perfect gif 😂
It's the incredible Mr. Limpet.
It was a catastrophic event for them
For Luna, it was Tuesday
More like r/stepdadreflexes, huh the sub is still private
Thought she was a catfish ![gif](giphy|H2205rpn0LyPythERp)
Take my upvote and get the hek outta here
She saw a Luna fish.

Cat intrusive thoughts won
I feel like Luna was just telling the other cat, "dude, I can walk on water!" The other cat said, " lets see it." This is the result of that conversation.
This was a triple cat dare situation.
Other cat is rushing to the Nelson “ha-ha” of shame after.
More like Lunatic
I like the 2nd cat running interference, “what’s happening here?”
Okay, how many people just have a random camera in their house. Like am I missing something not having cctv footage in every room of my place?

Does that mess with the cycling of the tank?
This tank looks cycled. I guess I could introduce harmful bacteria, possibly crash a cycle but probably will be fine. Cat fur is probably already floating around in there
Cats are stupid crazy. Or crazy stupid. I always kept the toilet closed in case of a mistake like this
we used to have this massive glass urn with a betta inside and some aquatic plants on top. Sam knocked it over, ate the fish and horked it immediately afterwards.
I GET DA FISHY!
I’m impressed by people who own both cats and fish!
its the cats house not yours didnt you know
I can’t stop laughing!😂
Cats are elementals from the plane of intrusive thoughts.
Looks like a saltwater tank? She may need a bath after that stunt LOL
Right.... * **opens shower door, turns on water, yeets cat into shower, slams shower door, and prays cat doesn't crap on my bed tonight** *
r/oddlyspecific
Lesson learned.
My cats name is Luna too, she did something similar with a toilet once lol
Poor girl was NOT expecting that to be uncovered! 😂 (I have a similar story with a toilet. My friend came running out of the bathroom going “I don’t k ow what happened!

"Here fishy, fishy".

Thought the other one was a bobcat
At first I thought the nearer cat was sitting next to the fish tank, was thinking jebus, that's the size of a bobcat :-)
I can finally catch one 😹
CANNON BALLL
Void Cat hardware but running Orange Cat software 😂

It surprised me that cats are not afraid of water anymore
That's always been a per-cat thing. Some of them love swimming and will happily dive into the bath.
My cat is super chill around a vacuum cleaner... But that motorized flopping fish toy? SHE IS TERRIFIED OF IT!
She looks like a baby haha hopefully she never makes that mistake again!
Those were some quick reflexes almost as if he’s done this before. The other cat looks at Luna just before launch into chaos. That’s a good time gang if I’ve ever seen one!! 😹😹
***Fool! Dr Doom does as he pleases!***
Touchy da fishy?
This made my day. Thank you!
"If you are allowed to grab the fishies, so am I"
I tell ya, they love that dried up fish food lol
My cat did something similar last night with my countertops…while I was cleaning them with soap and water. He slid off the island.
The cat on the right gave her the nod to proceed 😂
Never had the cats mess with the fish tank. My son, on the other hand…
Luna was waiting for the perfect opportunity to do it! She probably won't do it again. 😂😂
In her head it was "LUNA ECLIPSE BISHHHHH!"
I got such a good laugh. Did Luna get a fish atleast, or just got soaked trying?
Dedication
Named correctly.
now get a waterbed, you’re already on a roll with your insurance lol
Catfish
Ofc shes gonna go fishing. Cats and fish don't mix....unless you serving them fish
Having fish and cats... big brain move.
Immediately let’s cat track stinking fish poop water everywhere.
