Mickey fell into the fish tank!!

We have a 10 gallon fish tank on a stand near the steps in our kitchen. Yesterday Mickey who is 7 weeks old jumped from the stairs, onto the fish tank and fell in!. It has a lid but it also has an opening in the back where the filter is. The opening is small enough for the butt end of a 7 week old! He scared the fish silly and got his feet wet, but he was able to pull himself out. So we put a net over the filter area and so far it has worked to keep him out. I couldn't believe it!

Where's the camera when you need it

Poor little Mickey - hopefully he will stay away from the tank now!

omg....that is funny and scary at the same time.
I am glad that all are safe and sound.
Mickey

Yikes. Luckily the tank didn't fall over!

Poor kitty and poor fishies.

Do you have to do anything to the fish water now? Wouldn't it be contaminated or something?

Now THAT would be worthy of YouTube

Oh dear, how scary for all creatures!! Hopefully he's learnt his lesson!

About ten years a go I had a cat Max and a fishtank, I went to town, came home to find my cat swimming in a 33 gallon tank, I didn't think to take a picture until after, after that Max just pretended to fish on the front of the tank

Oh the poor baby! And those poor fishies! I sure hope he's learned his lesson!

I can just picture him scrampling around trying to get out!! Must have been pretty shocking for him

So far he seemed to stay away from it. But I didn't think about adding anything to the water!! I'll have to ask hubby he is the fish expert.
