I feed my cats by filling my bathtub up with water, putting fish in, and then letting my cat hunt them.
Is this bad?

Well, it technically is bait fish. Just little minnows and stuff. I don't really see the problem. I enjoy watching him and he has fun, and if he's still hungry I put out some traditional cat food.

If you don't see a problem why are you asking the question?
Personally, the only reason I see it as unethical is the fish don't stand a chance. They can never escape and you don't have an aquarium set up if they do.
Then I think: "all the fish I eat is aquacultured. Those tilapia and salmon didn't have a chance either."

it's only bad because feeding your pets should not be that time consuming.

>bait fish
You risk your cat getting worms or some other parasite. Bait fish are kept pretty poorly.

OP doesn't say anything about bait fish.
But chances are he probably is using feeders or something like that.
Contrary to popular belief fish is not a species appropriate meal for a cat, you should stick to birds and small mammals. Also live feeding is dangerous and cruel.

Feeders are also kept poorly too. Best thing would be to breed your own.
Pics or it didn't happen
Crickets or dubias would be better. Less disease risk.
W-why?

No and kudos for your innovative and creative processes to keep your cat sharp and entertained.

Yeah, guppies are really easy, platies too. If you keep them in 50/50 salt to freshwater your cat will get omega fats too.
