I HATE THESE FISH TANKS

[@abbey5899]

The cat is probably stressed, some of them urinate in strange places intentionally to express that something is wrong. As much as bad exotic animal care is normalized, it can be strange to remember that people can be just as bad at caring for cats. My best guess is they don't change the litter often enough, or the fish tank is doing something that stresses the cat out. (proximity to the litter box or food, maybe? cats are prey animals in addition to being predators, so they can get anxious pretty quickly about odd things.)

[@lasaintepoutine]

It might have a uti and is looking for a cool place to urinate to soothe the burn.

[@cherrybomb3033]

My daughter's cat has recently started doing this because she has been working alot more hours as of late. Just the other day whike she was at work her cat took a poop right next to his litter box on the carpet! My first thought was that maybe she had forgotten to clean out his litter box, but nope it was sparkly clean with new fresh litter. I then realized he was doing it because he was pissed that she was gone to work. This cat is glued to her 24/7 so her being gone so much really stresses him out & he gets upset. He literally is just doing it to show that he's mad.

[@lunanote-cassettemeower]

Sometimes a cat might pee in strange places due to a health condition. My cat Mittens got really sick when she was older (having to do with her feline leukemia) and she kept peeing on carpets since she couldn’t really control her peeing. She still peed in the litter box but she’d also pee on carpets if she wasn’t near the litter box. While she likely was stressed from not feeling well, she wasn’t peeing due to stress, she was peeing due to her sickness making her have trouble holding in her pee/making her pee more. Mittens ended up passing away from her sickness, the vet thinks she developed some kind of cancer as a result of her feline leukemia. She had fluid buildup in her lungs. There wasn’t anything we could have done to help her overcome that sickness, it was inevitable that it’d happen due to her being born with feline leukemia, but she managed to live for 9 years which is MUCH longer than initially expected! Also don’t worry, my other cat Divina was okay, Mittens couldn’t spread the sickness she had to Divina due to it likely being a kind of cancer and not a spreadable illness. Divina is actually sleeping on my leg right now, she’s in very good health. So it’s possible the cat is suffering from some health issue which is causing uncontrollable peeing. It might not be as severe as what Mittens had where there was no cure and they knew she was going to pass away, but it still should get checked out so it can be treated before it gets too bad.

[@chibimango5028]

Aw jeez, do they do this with pooping too? My cat has always refused to use the litterbox to poop even though she pees in it just fine.

[@blondbraid7986]

​@@PurpleGermanShepherd13 Well, most of those examples are only depicting humans being mean to animals for the sake of it, or in the case of Scar, deliberatly choosing to do something evil to an otherwise harmonious animal kingdom wher none of the good lions ever eat meat on screen. None of them really depict animal predation as something natural and common, the point of Disney sugarcoating nature and animal behavior still stands.

[@xx_shrek_kawaii_xx]

Why do so many people view fish as decorations and not as living things that need proper care? It's honestly concerning and disgusting. :(

[@JustAnInnocentLamb]

Simple answer: they're dumb and stupid

[@blondbraid7986]

I think it's because fishes aren't as noisy and expressive as say, a dog or cat, and so people take the lack of noise and facial expressions as lack of feelings.

[@annabaker2926]

My cousin had a beta fish in a "decent-sized" FISH BOWL (it wasn't tiny but it also wasn't huge). It had some rocks on the bottom and an aquatic plant with no filter and no heater. She's 6 so I understand that she doesn't know much about fish but I mentioned to my aunt that she should get a different tank that's bigger and has more things in it and she said that she doesn't have the money or space for a new tank (which I understand, but if you don't have space and money then just don't get a fish at all.) My cousin had it for about half a year last year before it died

It's pretty common for cats to pee in weird places if they're stressed. When we first rescued my kitten, my dog startled her when he came inside, and she walked over to my sweater that was drying from the wash and peed on it. It only happened that one time after we first got her and hasn't happened since.

[@stinkyginger3018]

My home state unfortunately still allows fishbowls. So I found a better use for them, have those fishbowls hold candy or decorative marbles.

[@danm8004]

If you buy one from the shop for this purpose, the shop will order more and someone's going to put a pair of Oscars in one. Just don't buy, simple.

[@azure_meadowwcue1916]

Personally if I got one for fish I would put it in a bigger tank and put alot of plants in it (as an extra hiding spot) I would never buy it to just put a fish in it alone. Andif not that I 29uld turn it into a mini eco system (landscape) or just paint fake fish onto it

[@EddwardTheSeventhSpaceWizard]

When stressful things were happening in my house a few years ago naturally my cat also got stressed and she started peeing on stuff. I have also heard of cats doing their business where they know they shouldn’t when they’re mad or if their litter box is too dirty, of course a dirty litter box can also make them mad I wouldn’t blame them.

[@cherrybomb3033]

I actually found a glo fish aquarium in the bulk trash,perfect condition,it’s actually just a regular ten gallon,but it had a bunch of aquarium stuff and decor with it,even fish food, I actually made it into a beetle terrarium for my super worm beetle colony.

[@demonicphoenixvt]

I actually have a local fish store and the betta are in their own 2 gallon habitats while on the shelf. This place really knows their stuff so kudos to them. As for some of these tanks, in my opinion some people just shouldn't own fish, or animals in general...

If it fits in the mouth, it’s dinner. That’s how fish work. Guppies will eat their own children if they aren’t fast enough.

[@Runastarfall]

As someone that has a cat that has had episodes of peeing in strange places... The vet and a behaviour expert said it is behaviour disturbance, which can happen if a new cat is in your area, or if the cat has to wear something new... like a cone or body suit to prevent them from reaching wounds. I bought calm down air stuff and lavender calm down treats. My cat is spayed tho... but it can also just be territorial spraying, but that depends on if her cat still has their babymaker tools

[@najpotenicewolf934]

My family had a few angelfish, and seeing one in the ball really makes my skin crawl. They grow big and need quite a big tank. And those are surely not species that can be kept with just any other fish. Just as well they probably should not be kept alone. Like, a pair would be an absolute minimum. We had 4 in that tank. They even started to breed, bud luckily the eggs would never last to hatching (it would be quite a problem for us).

[@emmeisdumb]

Love ur videos, it's all facts and honesty, No crap. Ty for educating the internet!!!

[@lunanote-cassettemeower]

Soda, could you possibly do a video about the person who is doing playthroughs of Pokémon games using their fish? I’d love to see your opinions about it. There was an incident where the fish ended up closing out of the game, opening up the eShop, exposing the owner’s credit card number and then committing credit card fraud. As funny as it was, I would like to know if you have any insight about this. Do you think it’s cruel? Or harmless? I’m no fish expert so I can’t really say too much on if it’s okay or not. On that topic, perhaps you should make a video someday ranking every fish Pokémon! I think Chi-yu is my favorite right now, it’s a goldfish MADE OF FIRE! One of the coolest ideas for a fish Pokémon ever.

My brother used to have a fish tank when he was a kid (like, older kid, tween to early teen), there were a few different species in there, and two of those fish had babies together at one point.. :P One of the other fish in there ate all the babies, which devestated him, but we did kinda' see it coming!

unfortunately, cats sometimes will pee in weird places from stress or illness. when my sisters cat got really old she started peeing on their stove top and it went into the elements, it was disgusting and hard to clean. but she was old and her health was going down hill so there wasn't anything they could do to fix the behavior, eventually she ended up having to be put down. I think the cat in that post was just like, peeing on top of the lid of the tank and it was going inside it, not that the cat was trying to pee IN The tank, but on it.

[@blondbraid7986]

Regarding fish eating other fish in the tank, while most people get that treating animals like unfeeling machines lead to cruelty, I think this really showcases why treating animals like atropomorphic Disney characters ala Zootopia can be just as harmful. Animals aren't objects, but they aren't humans with human morality either.

My cat would get mad at me and literally stare me down and pee on my pillow. He literally only did it if he was mad I didn’t feel him right on time. 5 minutes late he literally would look me dead in the eyes and I would tell him “don’t you dare” and he would do it. Usually if your running at a cat it runs from you nope he literally kept peeing whall staring me down so I would put him on time out. He probably only ever did it a hand full of times but it was a breed thing very demanding. Still loved him. They never messed with my fish so that was nice.

i’ve said this to my family before , but if you want to get a cute decoration that included a fish tank , don’t put real fish in it. there’s many fake fish that swim in little tanks and then you can make the tank as unsafe for actual fish as you want for the sake of it looking nice ! it doesn’t even make sense to use fish as purely decoration in the first place imo. they are loving creatures and you wouldn’t just buy a dog or cat purely for decoration , so why buy a fish for that reason ?

The owners of these channels clearly have no regard for their pet’s health. This is just so flat out cruel and I would like to hear your opinions on it if you would like to.

But maybe it would be a better idea - if that is possible - to not let the cat to be in the room with fish tanks? It can end quite bad- yea my cat fell in the tank once, let's say it was traumatizing for her, for me and for my room.
