From what I gathered, it's possible for their growth to be stunted, but it's less about tank size itself and more about the terrible water quality, lack of oxygen, high stress, inadequate temperature (etc) that usually come with small tanks

The cat doesn't register as "running" to me, but I can see the resemblance! I got confused and wondered if maybe you thought the cat was expertly painted onto the rug or something, haha.

Isn't the cat just lying down? Or was OP intentionally saying the opposite, as a joke?
