So I’m going to bed. It’s much later than I planned, but, hey, what can ya do? I notice my kitten, Sisko, playing with something on the floor, batting it around like kittys do, y’know? I take another look. It seems to be a plastic plant from the aquarium! WTF??? How the HELL did he get THAT?
You have to understand, I have a 55 gallon aquarium. The thing is four feet deep! There is NO way he could get a plant outta the bottom. I count the fish. All there. I look again- yup, it’s an aquarium plant, alright. I am completely and totally baffled. The only thing I can think of is that Sisko must have a real pussy snorkel hidden somewhere, and he went diving while I was out. All this time we thought it was for oral sex! Silly humans!
[sub]Seriously, I have NO idea how he got that!!!

Perhaps he’s the kitten equivalent of a werewolf. Turns into a fish when you’re not looking. Makes perfect sense to me.
[sub]That was my 500th post. Jolly good. [/sub]
Your cat has a rare talent - pussy snorkeling is not for the faint of heart. The closest my cats will get is the one who stands on the light and sticks his paw in through the filter hole to bat at the fish, who can avoid him. Was there any splashage around the aquarium? Check your pussy for thumbs and see if he/she can manipulate the net to pull out a plant.
Alternate theory: I’ve noticed that when plastic plants become dislodged (easy to do since they just have that plastic cup-thing to put rocks in holding them down), they float. Real plants don’t because their roots tend to anchor them more firmly in the bottom plus they’re denser than plastic. Possibly, your fish dislodged the plant and your cat just retrieved it from the surface.
Hmm, my 500th post, too.
