I feel for you. My Otis has taken to sitting on top of my 16 gallon BiOrb round aquarium. That would be OK except the top houses the controls for the 24 hour light cycle which he constantly re-sets with his butt. I wake up at 3 am and it is lit up in all its noontime glory, lol. I've tried putting books, cardboard, etc., but it gets too hot.

Cats rule us. I am afraid I have no good suggestions!
