Hey folks,
I've got a 10gl, 20gl long, and 46gl bow front running right now and it seems that my cats are using them as entertainment several times each day... I haven't seen them on top of a tank except for one time (thank goodness), but they do love to sit next to them (or on furniture next to them) and stare at the fishies... For some reason, my kitten Frasier especially likes the loaches, both kuhlii and dojo (perhaps it's the resemblance to snakes).
So, do your cats like to watch the fishies? Or do they try to do more than "watch"?
I've heard that there is research that proves that watching a fish tank will lower your stress level, etc. I wonder if the same is true for cats.
