Lest it be said otherwise...

I have learned my lesson. Do not taunt the cat and assume she's afraid of water. Apparently eight hundred or so pounds of cat does rather well in the indoor pool. One hundred fifteen pounds of Forge, however, decidedly less so.

On the bright side, my waterproofing works just fine. And if I swim sidestroke, I can actually get around in the pool reasonably easy. When a playful predatory cat isn't having fun using me as a beach ball. I think I have water behind my eyeballs.
