Is this tank cat-proof? Could a cat get the top off/get into the tank?

Yes, it's pretty cat-proof. I had that problem with our old tank - had to tape the top on to keep the cats out. They've never been able to get into this one.

No, it's not at all cat proof which is one reason I have contemplated getting rid of it. I have come home to the pots on the floor with the rocks out of it. I have also had the top opened up pretty well but the inner tray was still firmly in place..

I don't have the offical specs, buy I've put my 13 lb one in there with no issues and room/weight to spare, just carry it from the bottom as much as you can to be sure. Also, if your cat is curious/smart, he may be able to override the top closure which is held in place by velcro, be sure to put a safety pin in it. My kitten managed to get himself out of it while I was driving...

A cat should be able to open it, but be aware that the flap is not one of the flexible rubber ones, it is hard, jointed plastic.

Yes your cat will be very safe and will not be able to escape, has a clip down on outside so you cat will be unable to open it from in side.

I believe it would be safe for your cats. You can stand directly in front and it a few inches away without pants and it will not burn you. I don't think cats could work their way through the front grate as it is fairly substantial. Hope this helps.

The cats can't crush the cage, but it is possible to topple it from the top of the aquarium. It happened to mine once, but I think she learned her lesson. I had to go on a degu hunt, but it was pretty easy to find barking degu in a fairly open basement. It would be possible to fasten the top to the aquarium with a simple strap and hook, or something similar.

I don't have a cat but personally I think it would be super easy for your cat to push through the screen opening and get out.

I guess it depends on what size canopy. Mine was on a 29gal and I had no problem with my 2 cats on it. I recently upgraded to a 55gal and it's the kind that has the bar in the middle so I would need 2 separate pieces of glass. There are larger tanks that don't have the bar so if your tank is that kind the larger 1 piece of glass it may bow or break.

Maybe, quite possibly however cats are agile and withthe mess top zipped there would be a good chance it wouldn't fold in. This is a pretty sturdy item. *note the sides are mesh and the bottom is plastic and cats do claw so it could easliy get damaged that way. Hope this helps.

It's pretty air tight, but my cat figured out how to break into it by tipping it over and pulling the top off. I'm now in the market for something with a screw down lid.

I suppose you can put other bottles on top as long as you are careful and you don't have a cat that will jump on top and knock them off. :)

It's possible that an animal can get out through the bottom of this item. The bottom is sewn in such a way that it comes with rounded pipes. The pipes are ment to slide in this area to keep the screen in place at the bottom. A strong enough wind would allow the bottom to be lifted to provide an opening for your cat.

I would think not. With a fall and heavy contents, I think the cats would have a very large reward for knocking the container off the shelf. The pour opening lid opens very easily.

I agree with the previous post. My cat is 8lbs and he jumped on top. While the mesh of course gave the structure itself stood firm. I'm sure there's a threshold but I would say a normal sized cat (mine being closer to the smaller side of that spectrum) on top won't collapse it. I think it would be great for pet intros!

no - I would say an 8 lb cat can still get inside it. The Ball on top comes off easily though -

It should be able to hold a hamster in an aquarium just fine provided you also have some type of clips to secure the screen. Without clips a cat would easily be able to open the lid in the aquarium. The screen in very sturdy but it simply sits on top the aquarium so without clips you will have a hard time keeping critters in the tank or keeping other critters out of the tank.
