I like the name cupcake. It’s ice cream that im skeptical of. theres a brand I like named cupcakes and cashmere. Maybe the other one can be catshmere .... does that sound as dorky to everyone else as it does to me? ;Nailbiting ;Hilarious

I like the names. Then my kitty Oreo can come over and we can say we had cupcake with Oreo icecream :D

Thanks for saving them

Yeah. She told me the deal (as I was petting them) So I said “okay”. She said okay what? I said, okay, I’ll take them. She was like for real??? I said, you can’t put people in that position and expect them to say no. Everyone was so excited. I guess they had a bunch they needed to euthanize earlier in the day. By the time I left, there was only one left. Hopefully they can find a home before tomorrow afternoon for him. And if not, with only one left, hopefully they can postpone his deadline. Sooo sad.

Those are great names! I can only imagine how excited your son is to have two new buddies :)
He’s in heaven. He’s been on about hamsters. ;Yuck He said the cats were a step above hamsters. Super excited.

Wait till they find the tank. My cat loves sitting and watching.

Pictures like this may be one of the reasons I wanted a cat. ;Happy ❤️ At least humans aren’t the only animal that can enjoy having animals.

In the tank. Moving the rack down too, before anyone says anything. Just had it there to put them on easier. Looks like some are already opening up. No clue what the free one was... maybe a paly or a zoa of some sort?

I hate when they put a freebie in and dont tell you what it is. I like the cube and enjoyed the read. Thanks

So, I haven't even finished this tank, and I'm starting to get antsy on starting a frag tank... lol... Everything is also growing like crazy. Another reason I'd like to get a frag tank started... I'm going to run out of room in no time again, I'm sure! This hobby is WAY too addicting. I added some amino acid mix today. May be my imagination, but seems like the corals are even prettier tonight than they were last night.

I spent a lot of time looking at my tank today. I figured that with it looking so good (imo anyways), there's probably about to be a crash, so I better enjoy it! Heres some pictures!

Looking good!
I got super antsy too and setup a frag tank last weekend. I started dosing aminos a couple weeks ago like everyone else and swear I already notice a difference.

Awww, very cute kitties. Definitely watch out for them paying too much attention to the tank :D .

As for the names, what about going with the alliteration of Cupcake and Cookie? Still dessert, but may not hit the ear as awkwardly.

Hopefully he drops the hamster idea, I don't think it would end well for the hamster with those two kittens around.

I agree... Not a good combination.... Predators in a peaceful tank. ;Hilarious

I had a cat who used to regularly watch one of my tanks from a nearby chair. One day he started getting twitchy and then decided to lunge at one of the fish and discovered the harsh reality of glass. He never paid any attention to the aquarium after that!

One of them enjoys sitting next to it and watching it so far. Hopefully she doesn't decide to attack. It's super cute though.
Sorry for the wonky picture. The kiddo has a stomach bug and I was holding him. Couldn't get turned around well.

I am always afraid my cat is going to fall through my netted top. So far she hasn't tried to get up there.....at least that I am aware of. ;Nailbiting

Another one of my cats made a habit of walking around the edges of the aquariums in my home office. I was always amazed at her agility until that one day....

Suffice it to say she didn’t go near the aquariums again, although she was out of the tank so fast she hardly got wet (although there was plenty of water splashed on the floor!).
