Mice and cats again

Even though what I thought was catproof seemed good, Rhett was
actually able to move the glass topped table. Not much, but with him,
given time, he will figure out how to get what he wants.

I moved some furniture around so that the tank is between an
entertainent center and an end table.  He can't move the table either
way that way, which is the way he was able to start getting it
moving.  The only way he can move it off of the tank now is by
flipping it over it.  I will not hold this against this strong cat
and will be ready to move again if he does it. LOL  The kitties can
still go behind the tank, and the mice are still completely not
freaked out by cats looking at them. In fact, they act like they want
to know them. They go about their business and when seeing a big
furry head looking in, they get up on their hind legs and go nose-to-
nose with them.  Ok, maybe this is cruel for the cats, but they're
very well fed.  Its just cat tv..

Oops, meant to show you two pictures of the new set up.

I hope so. I found a mice Yahoo group to subscribe to so I can
hopefully get information that I can't find on Usenet.

The one thing that I have to keep in mind is how upset the cats get
over not being able to get to the mice. How frustrating could that be
to a cat?  If they start acting out more toward each other it could
be redirected aggression and I might have to rehome the mice.
