Spice101 how may I ask do I do that? My cat who is 16 years olf age can jump over a 6 foot fence. She thinks and acts like a 4 year old. Do I tie her to a chair?

Our cat fell in our swimming pool a few times. He used to love drinking the chlorine.

Glad your cat is OK grandtante.

An opinion that I'm sure will incur the wrath of some, but I really do believe cats like any other animal should be confined to their own property. I cannot understand why people allow their cats to roam at their will and often to their detriment. Surely if you have a loved pet you want to keep it safe.

I honestly don't know where the cat was swimming, but he had obviously fallen into something that wasn't all that easy to get out of.

He didn't come in for breakfast at seven and turned up soaking wet at midday.

He's fine, but was tired for two days.

But please, if you have water butts or garden ponds, do please check that the butts are covered and that ponds have a plank that cats, dogs, foxes, etc, can walk up.

CHILDREN can drown in the same amount of water as an animal.
