Here Fishy Fishy

So my wife just called. As she was coming down the stairs she saw our new kitten Gary staring into my refugium. The cat turned to look at her, and as he looked back at the tank one quick paw swipe and my Saddleback Clown went airborn onto the living room floor!

Aimee ran down, scooped up the clown, before he became a snack, and put him back in the fuge. I'm still at work, but she says he looks just fine.

Thank you honey for your quick reflexes.

(I had just put the clown in my fuge last night because I'm moving my expansion tank again)

That cat would be dead or at the pound :X

It's just doing what comes naturally. Lucky timing.(for your fish)

Secure some egg crate over the top so kitty can't get at the fish.

In my old 55 my cat caught a false perc clown and brought it to her food bowl.

(Guess she was waiting for it to become fancy feast?)

I now have a 240 with a hood and egg crate.

I was going to move the Saddleback into my 100g sump last night, but I found some 5/8" pieces of acrylic(previously used for sump baffles) and threw those on top. They're way to heavy for the cat to move.

Now I just amuse myself by watching kitty circle the tank from every angle.

I was thinking about getting a cat... but if that happened to one of my thielleis I'd be both divorced and facing animal cruelty charges.

Trust me I know. The kitty is particularly sneaky. I just told my wife to be extra vigilant when going into the basement. If that cat ever got near my 8 foot shallow reef he'd have a field day!

Imagine eggcrate tank covering to keep the cat out.. not to keep the fish in LOL

It's not that the cat is evil, the cat is just a cat.

Can't dangle a steak in front of a hungry dog and get mad when he goes for a bite.

Sure you can! I like my cat just as much like the rest..... IN CHINESE FOOD ONLY! Kill the cat! Problem solved.
