The Curious Cat Living the Dream in His Custom Fish Tank Home

Whoever said cats don’t need luxury clearly never met Jasper, a curious feline whose life took a splashy turn thanks to his devoted owner, Melissa. Determined to create something truly special, Melissa partnered with Aquatics & Exotics to design a one of a kind aquarium that would delight not just her, but her four legged companion as well. The vision? A breathtaking underwater world that would serve as both a serene fish habitat and an interactive playground for Jasper, transforming a simple living room into a mesmerizing aquatic sanctuary filled with wonder and feline joy.

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.

“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.”
