how big is your Soldier? (one common name for this cat)
how in the world did it happen?

it'd be nice to see a pic of this not commonly kept (available?) cat... hungry eyes, you know...

I loved my 1.5 footer dearly. Lost it during the move to FL. His name was Rocky (as in lithos in greek).

Drained tank while water changing.

Not an easy pic to get while in the tank.
Here it is in the Cat-eLog from 5/08.
