Why does your freshwater fish gulp at the top of the bowl?
Lack of oxygen in the water. The fish is gasping for breath. Besides, no freshwater should be kept in a bowl with no filtration (except for a betta) Bettas need good clean water too. The purpose of filtration in aquaria is to use bacteria to convert the dangerous byproducts of aquatic life in water. Those deadly poisons are ammonia and nitrite. They are converted aerobically into relatively harmless nitrate.

Does a fish live longer in a bowl or in a bag with holes in the top?
Neither. A 'fish bowl' is a terrible place for a fish, usually goldfish which are actually pond fish and can grow massive and live 20 yrs. However if it HAD to be one or the other, it'd be the bowl as there will be more gaseous exchange at the surface of the water than there would be in a bag, even with holes in.

What are the dangers of having a pet cat and a pet fish at the same time?
It wouldn't be exactly dangerous to have a cat and a fish at the same time, but there are some risks. If the fish is in a tank or bowl that has no top, the cat may try to stick it's paw in and "get" or possibly eat. Since cat's are playful animals and they have instincts of their relatives, the cat may consider the fish as prey. Unless there is a top on a fish tank or bowl, or if you put the bowl out of reach of the cat, the fish should be safe.If you have any further questions on this topic, please let me know.(If you are unsure of my username, it is bluecow847)
