Will cat be okay after falling into stinky pond?

Think the silly lass was after a frog... the pond is shallow but she got a good dunking, chin to toe - she wouldn't let me dry her off, just fled until she'd cleaned herself off. She is now floofy and clean again and chasing Brother around...

I'm only worried because the pond is a bit manky... is she likely to make herself ill from licking off all that water? 🤢

My cat chooses to drink disgusting pond water rather than the fresh bowl he has!

He’s absolutely fine!

He will be fine don’t worry, poor little thing must have had a right fright though

Thanks for the reassurance! Now you come to say it, @BurntBroccoli , I've seen the neighbour's cat drinking from the same pond... must taste like frog soup... 😆🐸

@XMissPlacedX she did indeed... but once she'd recovered her composure, she was mighty feisty with her brother, as if trying to reclaim her supremacy and dignity... silly sods, aren't they... 🤗
