Really depends on the cat, my cat will watch the fish next to her and most of the time just fall asleep but sometimes she wants to look down on the fish but never reaches for them. I have a powder brown that will swim to the top of the water to greet her and she doesn’t ever reach in.Thinking about getting a cat.. I have a screen top reef tank. I know all cats are different, but anyone have any bad experiences with a screen top and a cat? Just obviously don't want the cat clawing the screen to shreds to try for my fish.
Hahah oooopsHow did you train them to do that? When my cars get thirsty I have to take them to the gas station.
All of my tanks have the lids off 90% of the time and i have 2 cats and 5 tanks. They watch and may drink water from the freshwater tanks, but ive never had problems. I could see problems with a pico tank maybe, since the fish are easier targets.Thinking about getting a cat.. I have a screen top reef tank.

I've caught my cat doing the same......and drinking from toilet...gross!I’ve got 3 cats that couldn’t care less. Had one more that also never even noticed the tank. And one of them I can sit on a stool in front of the tank and he’ll run away because it’s so boring.
One thing I have noticed is if I’ve got saltwater anywhere in my kitchen one of my cats will try to drink from it. So when I get coral shipments and I open them in the kitchen I have to make sure he’s not around. And a fun fact to end it off, cats can drink saltwater to quench their thirst, they are one of the only mammals with kidneys efficient enough to filter out the salt.
saw the pic first before reading and was gonna ask if that was a coon cat. yep. very cool.Our main coon is a inquisitive ******* that always manage to get himself in to trouble. I know for a fact that he took a dunk in the tank a year back or so (didn’t see it but the dried up salt spray gave him away). He sometimes would jump up and chill on the light fixture and I guess he must have misjudged his jump or something.
Can’t have been all that much fun since he has left the tank alone after that. Now he mostly just “helps” out when I’m doing maintenance.
And he recently started stalking deer. I guess managing to beat up the local fox wasn’t enough of a thrill....
I got a pair of rambunctious tigers that pretty much leave it alone. One of them helps with the maintenance...or so he'd like to think!Thinking about getting a cat.. I have a screen top reef tank.
