Whoever said pets shouldn’t be pampered has probably never witnessed the joy that comes from giving a cat its very own custom-designed aquarium. That’s exactly what Melissa did for her beloved cat, Jasper, with the help of Aquatics & Exotics, a company eager to bring this unique vision to life.
The result? A stunning aquarium that spans 4 feet by 2.5 feet and holds 125 pounds of saltwater, creating an ideal habitat for a variety of vibrant tropical fish. But the highlight of this aquatic masterpiece is undoubtedly the cube-shaped nook at the bottom, which is perfectly sized for a curious cat like Jasper to explore.
This lavish gift, which set Melissa back $2,500, has brought immense joy not just to Jasper, but to Melissa as well. “You spend that much on a TV, and this is like a TV for cats,” she remarked. “As soon as we feed the fish, he comes running. He’s living the dream.”
Jasper’s love for his aquarium is rooted in his natural hunting instincts, a trait all cats share. Ensuring cats have enough mental stimulation is crucial; without it, they can develop problematic behaviors like scratching furniture or ignoring their litter box.
However, Jasper isn’t the only one fascinated by the colorful fish. His sister, Willow, also enjoys spending time by the tank, and let’s just say, sharing isn’t always their strong suit.
Despite the occasional sibling squabble, the custom tank has been a resounding success, exceeding Melissa’s expectations. She has no regrets about the investment and would gladly do it all over again.
The National Park Service has a plan to potentially euthanize up to 170 feral cats under the guise of nuisance control. Demand a policy that protects these cats!
“It’s wonderful to see him so happy because it’s important to keep their minds active,” she said. “It’s definitely been worth the money.”
