Any comments from pool owners with cats???

Nannci2539, I was worried about the same thing! We're not at TV yet, but I hope to have a pool when we do finally get there.
Whether or not your cat will fall in the pool.... I think it depends on your cat.
We have a pond with a waterfall off our patio, and Baby Monroe (in the picture) falls in at least once a week. He likes to sit on the rock above the waterfall, and if a bird takes a bath in the pond the cat will launch himself at the bird and land in the pond. Sometimes he'll actually crash through the ice in the winter. Baby Monroe only has 3 legs, so maybe his balance is a little off? :dontknow: On the other hand, Tommy Boy also loves running water, but (as far as I know) he's never fallen into the pond. He's much too dignified for that... or else he's just a big scaredy cat.
Meanwhile, if you type "pet ladder" into your browser you can find sites like this one: http://www.americas-pet-store.com/pr...catid/262.html
We can line our pools with pet ladders! ;D
