The last one is somewhat disturbing to me.

I've posted one here before of just the squirrel (taken before the cat came along to see what I was doing).

Yeah. That one was more upsetting than disturbing to me though...

It definitely sucked getting it out of the pool, but I couldn't let an opportunity to photograph something like that slip by.
Then my cat was curious..

Yeah, it was in our pool. We've had about half a dozen in there so far this year. This was the last one, a couple of months ago now.

Yikes! I never thought pools were such a hazard to local wildlife.

Oh yeah.
As soon as we found the first one, we looked it up online and apparently it's kind of "the best kept secret" of swimming pools. No one mentions it, but it's apparently not uncommon at all for squirrels to end up dead in there. They can fall in, but they can't get out.
Dogs, too. Cats. Frogs.
They even make ramps you can install to help animals out. ha.

Why don't you just span a cloth over it when you're not using the pool? Keeps the leaves out too, you know...

Well, we have a cover for once it gets too cold for swimming and/or when the leaves start to fall. During late spring and summer, we've been using it just about every day at some points, and late into the evening, sometimes early the next morning, so it just wasn't convenient at all.
