Does anyone know of a way I can keep my cats out of the fish tanks? My boyfriend (DooSPX) is getting upset with them. Its bad enough they keep him awake at night, get on the counters, and mess up the blinds. Today while I was at work they got up on the counter knocked the top off of the one gallon with Shelly in it and got water all over the place. He was so mad when he got to my house and seen that. I don't know what to do to prevent them from getting up on the counter. I tried the sticky tape and it didn't bother them a bit. They used to get on top of the 65 till we got the hood cover. Any one have any suggestions?

Squirting mine with a water gun when I'm home, and keeping them out of the fish room when I'm not is the only thing thats worked for me. I have come in and found Sadie sleeping on the big tank, or swatting at the glass so many times I cant count. But I don't have any tanks here small enough for her to knock over. You could try that crackly plastic paper used in gift bags (hobby lobby or the like) mine hate the sound of it when they step on it and run off.
I am strongly opposed to smacking my cats, thats why i use the squirt gun/bottle, does the same thing and I don't feel bad for hitting my cat/
cats as with all animals if you let them disrespect you they will walk all over you and the house,
i have 3 indoor 2 outdoor and all other animals..and kids..
the kids are the hardest ones to train, if they do something you don't want then you tell them in a stern voice,(tone) and make some sort of back up gesture, either a clap or something and repeat every time and don't give up,.. consistancy is the key...
mine are all respectful 99% of them,.. except the old geriactric one she is very stubborn, with clawing up the couch, she does it only to tick me off and waits to be yelled at then gives me a look like go ahead make me, i'm old you know,..
