If you have a pet cat and a goldfish in a fishbowl- without a covering-  is it a certainty that the cat will attemp to eat/play with/remove the goldfish?

It all boils down to Instict and curiosity. No matter whether it's a domesticated cat or a wild cat- that goldfish is in danger..

Cats are curious by nature, so even if they dont intend to eat that goldfish...it is a shiny, moving and irresistable object....so your cat may want to remove it from the water, smack it like a toy or bring it to you as a gift.

To be on the safe side, get a strong cover for your tank or net for your pond.
