Thanks for the snack
Sometimes, the weirdness of living in New York is about the people you meet. Well, that’s more often the case than anything else. This guy was living in an apartment with two other roommates, when one of them decided it was time to move out. He had a 100-gallon aquarium that he just left in their crib.
The OP didn’t know what he was going to do with the aquarium and its contents, but the other roommate did. Or rather, the other roommate’s cat did. It went over, pulled the pet fish out, and munched on their tiny bodies until they were no more.
