My wife usually gets up around 6 or so and it's still dark out. She likes to sit on the back patio for a half hour or so before getting ready for work. I usually get up about a half hour after her, but she woke me up this morning. I heard her yelling "oh no" and "sorry baby" so I jumped out of bed fearing the worst. That's when I heard the thwack sound of Celina bolting back into the house through the cat door. She was soaked and racing through the house with my wife chasing her around with a towel. She got water everywhere before we caught her and dried her off. Celina thinks the pool is her water bowl. Actually all 3 cats drink out of the pool even though they have two giant water bowls inside. The good thing about this is that we know she can get back out of the pool really quickly. She fell in where it was about 4 feet deep. I'm pretty sure she got out faster than she fell in. After we caught her and got her all dried off she stayed glued to my lap. I had to give her an extra 15 minutes of lap time before I headed off to work. We're not sure if she just leaned over to far. The water level is a bit low. I have a feeling she'll be using the inside water bowls for the near future. She's all dried off with a shiny new coat. She was purring and giving me the slow blinks so she's over the incident now.
