Today, I bought a fish. I put the tank on top of the fridge so my cat wouldn't get at it. I'd forgotten to buy some things for its tank, so I quickly ran out to get them. When I got home, I saw the tank destroyed on the floor, and my cat devouring my fish. I had the fish for less than an hour. FML

Today, I spent almost two hours cleaning my fish tank, only to find out that my cat had secretly eaten all of my fish while I was cleaning the tank. FML

Today, I bought a new Siamese Fighting Fish. I was so happy with my new fish so I bought him an expensive lovely bowl, some weeds, and a toy for the bowl. I left the room to get the fish food. When I returned, the fish was gone, and the cat was sitting on the table. FML

Today, I heard a loud crashing noise. I ran into the kitchen to see what it was. My cat had knocked over my fish bowl and had my Beta in her mouth. After scolding her and rescuing it, I decided to clean its bowl. When I went to dump some of the water in the sink, my fish went down the drain. FML

Today, I saw my cat playing in the other room. Fascinated, I watched him for a few minutes before I realized he was playing with one of my daughter's fish. Well, what was left of it. FML

Today, I woke up in my living room after having a party. I then realized my fish tank with many different species was missing from its usual spot. After searching for a few minutes, I finally found it in the freezer. FML

Today, while doing some spring cleaning, I found the remains of my goldfish, which I was sure my cat ate last year. FML

Today, I bought a fish bowl and a fish for $15. I brought him home and sat him on my desk. Everything was going well until the shelf gave out and his bowl slid off of the shelf... onto my $2,000 computer. The computer is fried and is not covered by the insurance, the fish is fine. FML

Today, I was walking to the pet store to buy a month's worth of fish food for my fish so I wouldn't have to come back for a while. For fish food it was expensive. It was also surprisingly heavy and I had to carry it back to my house. When I got home, I saw my fish floating at the top of its bowl. FML

Today, I woke up to shit on my floor and my cat hiding under my comforter. I have to get rid of my new fish because my cat is afraid of it. FML

Today, my mom was criticizing how I can't handle taking care of any living thing because I'm too irresponsible. We had a huge argument so I went back to my apartment, only to find that my fish had died. I forgot I had a fish. FML

I hope the poor kitty didn't hurt its paws on the broken glass.

I'm sorry but u out it on top of the fridge to avoid the cat?? That doesn't work... Their cats. U have to know where to keep the fish so the cat can't get it. Common sense.

Not to mention that if it's on top of a fridge it's most likely in a fish bowl, which shortens the lifespan of the fish dramatically.

coming from a household with four cats that is a BAD mistake... Cats are able to jump extremely high... It's sad for the fish but now you know. FYL

why the hell did you get a fish knowing that?

Are you kidding me? A cat can easily get on top of the fridge, especially with counters nearby. If you want to keep a fish safe, put it either in another room or put a lid on the tank to keep the cat out. YDI

What would make you think your cat couldn't get it up there? Cats can climb trees... A fridge is nothing to them!

Uh, a lot of people? As long as you put the tank in the right place and give it a secure hood, the cats can't do anything about it. It depends on the cat though: my cats never had the slightest bit of interest in my fish. There was this one time I was holding one of my cats, and all he did was half assed-ly swat at one of the fish as it swam by, but that was it.
