Cat in same room as tank

If my cat doesn't bother the beardie too much, is it okay that she's in the same room as his tank? I would NEVER allow him out of the tank when the cat is around, and the top is definitely cat proof. I don't foresee my cat bothering him, except maybe to watch him.

My cats and beardie are in the same room, and they are my outdoorsy mousers. They pay no attention to my dragon. I would advise that if you take him out to not introduce them. Other than that he should be fine! Also, is your cage up on a stand/table? Just so that maybe the cat doesn’t scare your dragon and stress him out if he is down low. Just some options. :)

He should be fine I have 6 cats and they dont bother the dragons -- they are used to one another - the cats dont even go near the dragons at all and they cant get to my tanks as they are on stand alone dresser / aquarium stand they cant get to - they have never jumped from the floor to the tops of the tanks they cant see to get to the tops of the tanks

I cant even tell you how reassuring this is, you have replied to my questions before and ease my mind. Thank you so much for your contribution to this forum and for helping my anxiety over having a new pet.

Yes, he is up on a dresser type stand!
