In case you don’t think cats go fishing in a fish tank, I have evidence. Years ago I got a fish tank one Christmas, and the cat KNEW it was for him. It was just a matter of working out how to get to the fish without the water in hte way. The fish tank had an external filter, with tubes for intake and return. One day I came home to the tank about half full of water, a puddle of water increasing on the floor, and the cat sitting by looking like “What, me?!” The cat had cleverly figured out that if the return tube from the filter was moved, it would dump the water onto the floor instead of returning it to the tank. Therefore the pump was doing the work for him of getting rid of the water. All he had to do was wait to get to the tasty fish.
Yesterday I asked my one and only what she thought of a bird to keep the cats happy. There may be another site where her response would be appropriate and uncensored.
Our tiger sits by the patio window and talks (literally has a “meow and burble and throaty purr” conversation) with any robin that hops by. Only the robins. We guess he “enjoyed” their company when he was a stray since they stay close to the ground for food in the spring, but we aren’t going to let him out to continue the “relationship.”
@tbree, we got a canary in a cage hanging from the ceiling. Our cat knew it was off limits and would studiously avoid looking at it when we were around. We came home from church one day, and the bird was gone, just a few feathers in the bottom of the cage. The cage door was still shut and latched. The cat looked innocent, and still avoided looking at the cage. But, then he burped, and a few yellow feathers came out. We never did figure out how the cat a) got to the cage hanging from the ceiling or b) got the bird out without opening the door (or did he thoughtfully close it again afterwards?).
