Do reef/ fish tanks and cats mix?

This will happen if the cat has a diet high in ash (cheap filler for cheap foods). This is why it's sometimes better to feed your pets good quality food from the start although genetics plays a big role in health too.

Although cats can be super awesome pets when they start doing dumb **** like peeing on the laundry and scratching up the couches you have to look at it like its not that they have a personal vendetta on you. Most times it's an easy fix like adding another litter box, getting meds for a urinary tract infection, getting soft paws (declawing is a total last resort and IMO shouldn't be done).

There are evil cats out there though. I've met one named Cadbury. That's why I will never get a calico cat.

We had my wife's cats declawed, tried the soft claws but they would chew them off and wreck stuff. Doesn't seem to bother them, they were sore for less time than they were when they were neutered so I don't get what all the fuss is about.
