Honestly though my best advice, don't get a cat, they ruin your life and live forever.

Like to hear your story of how a pussy cat ruined your life...

There are lots of videos out there of cats falling into open top tanks though. The trick is to have it tall enough that the cat can't jump on it, no room on the stand for the cat to use as a step, and no furniture next to the tank for the cat to jump from.

Guess I should go thru all the cat youtube vids...
