To be fair, the shape and size and elevation of that particular bit of a counter makes it look like it's designed to be a cat perch :D

The struggle of a hairless cat: no matter how athletic you are, everybody still can see your belly fat :D

Yeah...fat cats don't belong on glass lids.

There's about $1000 worth of Haps and Peacocks in that tank and they love to move substrate around and I have no idea if any tiny shards of glass fell into the tanks.

I'm beyond furious.... :mad:

Is an acryic lid a possibility? I had one made for one of my tanks and it was pretty reasonable. Cheaper than a glass one actually.

Not only is it a possibility....it's inevitable.

"This is the way."

I will be constructing acrylic lids in the near future. I'll make a DIY post on the project.

Plexiglasd might not be a horrid option as well
 
It's the same thing. I think Plexiglass is a brand name of acrylic.
No 2 different type of plastic. Both will bend when sitting on top of a tank. Plexiglass is more flexible while acrylic is much stronger. 3+ times stronger than glass. Both are tough to cut.
 
Ok no cats but I guarantee you guys these guys are dreaming of chasing cats!!E06359D3-D982-4485-9A09-1176BBF9396B.jpegsee I said catsF5DC7E18-8709-4D49-94D3-AE6048402E59.jpeg

This is what I went with

Been a while since I posted anywhere here. My youngest cat just did a silly stupid and I just have to share. It's winter here, and the neighbors below me have the heat on so high that I can't breath so to keep the tank warm and for me to breath, I normally place a blanket over the tank and open my windows...


this is the result. xD
 
Hopefully the blanket was well rinsed and there was no detergent in it.

I don't use detergent on certain blankets, mainly the ones the cats use. Baking Soda and Vinegar do the job well enough when washing them.
 
For a while, I had somewhat cute, but annoying issue with Simba: when he gets inside a box in his cat tree to sleep, he snores quite loudly, because he's all squeezed in there and the box additionally resonates the sound. During the day it's cute/funny, but at night it gets on my nerves. So I just turned the tree around, so that the hole faces the wall. My sleep quality the last few nights was so good :D. However, I hope to think of some other solution that would allow to leave the box open at day and block it only for the night. Both for Simba's sake, and for the fact that the tree is somewhat crooked from Simba's jumping on it, but facing the right way it was stable, and now it's a bit wobbly.

In our house, it is a heating pad on the bed that is targeted that fast.
 
Talking about chairs, sometimes when I want to check something on my PC but don't plan to sit by it, I just kneel on the chair, with elbows on the desk, in a tabletop position, and lately Simba jumps on my back at that point :D.

It snowed last night, and SOME of us had more trouble getting out of bed than others.

Today there's a cat exhibit in the mall that I work in. It surround almost entire infocentre where I sit, except a small gap for people to come to me. I myself feel a bit like a cat in the exhibit, because people keep walking through what I feel is "my space", the one that usually is only entered by people who want to ask something. I pity purebred cats who have to go through this all the time. With dogs it's different, they are more extroverted and handle it better, while the cats just want to chill at home and not be dragged to the malls (so relatable).

Also, what a struggle it is to see all those cute cats and not be able to touch them! :(
 
I had a blue Persian and it just loved attention. My favorite cat it was almost dog like! Played catch and greeted us at the door.
 
My husband is trying to blame this on the cat……he didn’t like it when I said it was his fault for not covering his car for the winter :D

I see nothing to be blamed about in the first place :D - the car is dusty and needs a wash anyway, foot prints or no foot prints o_O. You guys might as well join the cat and make some dust art of your own before washing it :D
 
I found a deer shed while looking for a new fishing spot. BB has a thing for new smells, in the end it didn’t hold his interest for long.
