My banjo cat lets me hold him whenever I want! My mom asked me if he was dead, and I told her that is just how they are......I am surprised though, at how he will let me touch him as much as I do.........you'd think he would try to swim away...Cheese Specialist said:I am not one for taking fish out of water for a picture. That's like holding us under water for one.
I have picked fish up with my hands though but only to avoid netting them and my farlowella and plecs let me.
