Hello,
My cat loves to walk along the edges of our swimming pool and drink the water puddles ( even when we provide fresh water for her). Today she fell in the pool. Fortunately I was standing nearby and heard her trying to get out. We dried her with two warm towels and placed her inside. She is still shaken up but she is eating and drinking normally. Is there anything else that I should do?

Our cat loves to walk on the side of the tub while I give my daughter a bath. She has fallen in several times yet continues to enjoy her time hanging out on the side of the tub! If she didn’t seem to take on any water and is acting normal; meaning normal breathing, normal behavior, etc. I wouldn’t worry too much. If she isn’t acting normal then perhaps have your vet check her out to be on the safe side Best of luck!

The truth is this happens a lot and could just be anxiety acting up. The cat could have been so used to not falling in that when she did she got in she was startled. The best way to determine this is if the type of cat is known to have anxiety issues. If she still shakes after a few days then maybe you would want to go to the vet. Hope it’s better soon!
