Well, Boudicca, the new kitten really does believe that she is a dog....and last night about 8:30 we were sitting in the swing beside the pool. The rim is about half deflated, and she jumped up on it and got to watching the leaves floating in the pool. Mr said...go get your cat....well, I sure didn't want to startle her; then she WOULD have fallen in. She started doing the 'wriggle bum' thing....just prior to attacking the leaves......oh lordy, I didn't want to have to jump in the pool with jeans on. Besides, it's getting chilly after dark now! She won't come when called (of course), but I finally managed to distract her by throwing grapes at the side of the pool. She FINALLY jumped down to attack the grapes instead.....huge sigh of relief.

Kitten would have been fine, (she doesn't seem to mind water but she would have shredded the rim of the pool getting out.
