The Pool Is OPEN!

Greetings to all!  It's me, Maggie.  Great news - the pool here at Ao4 Headquarters has FINALLY opened for the season!

As Mom filled it up yesterday morning, I dove right in and got busy:

Me, splishin' and a-splashin'!!!

For some reason, it doesn't fill as quickly when I help, but I can't help myself -- I just get so excited!!!

Cam came in and helped, too:

"Oh, nice form, Maggie!"
"Thanks, Cam!  I really DIG this pool!"

Actually, she pretty much just admired my technique and stood there to cool off!

Here's a video of my reaction when I discovered it was the first day of pool season - and Cam and me playing Queen of the Pool!

Has your pool season started?  Do you love it as much as I do?  I think it's a BLAST!!!

Yours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher

  1. Oh can you hear us laughing and clapping and saying WTG!! What a fab video. Cats don't normally like water but dang you make that look like such a blast. Your digging technique is quite unique. I hope and purr your house has cooled downed and the hiccup in the compressor is fixed!!
    Mom said the music in your video reminded her of some of the silent film music...yes she is OLDER than dirt

  2. Maggie - you are such a hoot!!! Mom filled our pool too and we just stared at her:) Now that we have watched you two, maybe we could get a round of river otter in the pool in the pool.
