You simply find a way to suspend an open tube of fish food, upside down, above your aquarium. Cats love to play and will smack the container around, scattering food for the fish. When the fish feed at the surface they will be available to your cat. Of course this is assuming that you have a smart cat
and dumb fish.

how long are you going for? |
|
|
you might have to train your cat to play with fish food containers, or put something fuzzy over it. Or, dangle it from a string. My cat tends to attack anything that has a string anywhere on it. |
|
|
How about an entire domestic ecosystem? |
|
|
And when you get back to an empty fridge, you can eat the cat and the remaining fish. |

// I mean really, what's the point of having fish if you're going to feed them to your cat?// |
|
|
I can see we have very different approaches to life. |
|
|
hey, wags - needs must! wouldn't eat fluffy though <spits out furball> |

You would need to match the rate of reproduction to the rate of consumption, but it could be done. In a way, it's being cruel to be kind because otherwise the fish would starve, rot and poison the tank for the others. |
|
|
and of course, the dog can eat the catpoop. Ahhhh... harmony. |
|
|
Sounds good at first glance, but then the cat gets tired of the taste of minnow, and bored with batting the fish food container. |
|
|
You come home to starved dead stinky fish and angry emaciated cat. |
|
|
My cat would just eat the fish food. |
|

// // sp. "you're"//
No, sp. "your".//
Second your in title, not first |
|
|
My cat would eat the fish and the fish food, then drop the fish food container in the dog's bed so the dog gets the blame. |
|
|
I think the fish would get overfed in our house. |
|
|
Thanks for the welcome Capt. |

It could proceed as far as your imagination takes you.
You might set your houseplants within the splash area that the cat makes around the fish tank. The cat waters the plants and the dog chews fur balls and drinks from the toilet. Don't even tell me that YOUR dog would never drink from the toilet. They all do.
After a week's vacation, you would no doubt be amazed at the survival skills that would develop, out of necessity, of your pets. |

Good choice of music, normzone. |

Friend of mine had 2 piranha fish. He went on a holiday and released a bag of goldfish in the piranha tank. When he came home after 10 days he still had one piranha. |

Reminds me of that woman I used to work with who had a
pet boa constrictor and the cutest little white mice -- not
pets -- which she had to replace regularly. |
