Well, I’ve only brought Zoot home once before, at Christmas. We were in the old house, so I put him on the bathroom counter. Allegro was completely uninterested.
This time, however, it’s a different house and there’s a new cat. One with an actual prey drive.
Zoot is perched on top of my bookcase, which neither cat can get onto at this time (I won’t trust Alladin not to take the bookcase down trying, though). Alladin has attempted to climb the bookcase, jump from the coffee table in front of it to it (it’s too far), run around to the other side of the wall and hop up that way…. yeah. He’d like to get up there. Once there, I have no doubt that he’ll knock the whole thing off the bookcase, spilling water everywhere and possibly killing my fish.
For now, he’s not allowed in here without supervision. Right now, both cats are doing great impressions of pillows, though, and the fish is nearby, so I suppose they got bored. For now.

What do you have the fish in so the cats don’t get to it? I’ve been thinkin of getting a fish for Gabby to watch but am afraid of it becoming dinner.

I’d get them a fish, but I think their hunting skills are a bit too good.
