Not A Snack

Dammit Cat,

When there is a bowl by the fish tank, that is not some sort of snack bowl set out just for you. It is also not a punch bowl. It is, in fact, a brand new coral being drip-acclimated so that it won't die the minute it's put in the tank.

Now that I've explained that, perhaps you see why it was so awful for you to fish the coral out, fling it aside, and drink out of the bowl.

Not only is that salt water bad for you (even though you drink it at every opportunity) but that coral is alive. Yes, you broke a piece off. Fortunately we were able to save both pieces, but even with us suddenly having two pieces instead of one that does not excuse your attempted coral murder. Does it flavor the water somehow? I don't really care.

On a very much related note, please stop trying to drink out of the fish tanks. It disturbs the fish, and one day you're going to fall in.
