How do you go about preventing emergencies of the feline variety? When I was a kid we had a tank that the cat would try and fish from. We ended up relocating the tank so that it would not be accessible to her.
simple , get fish bigger then your cat . I had a pocu (looks like a pirahna) that was 18" , the first time the cat tried to swat the fish the fish bit back .....cat never tried that again lol
Yikes! I would never have considered keeping cat eating fish as a deterrent! I am glad that worked for you, but I think that I like both my fish and my moggies too much to set them up against each other like that!
My cat is dead at this stage but when I used to have one it showed very little interest in any fish tanks I had. The dog on the other hand hates the fish but luckily they arn't as good as climbing up to get at them than the cats. I would suggest something over the tank such as netting or some kind of scrim to cover it from swiping claws.
Dogs I would not be concerned about. Yes, they might like to sit and watch the fish swim around and around but they do not make good climbers like you say, and don't have quit the foot agility that a cat has for fishing.
