My latest hypothesis on the neverending battle against algae this season is that my cat is tracking it in. I've found some muddy paw prints at the lip around the stairs, and I've seen her face in the pool drinking from it. This makes me wonder if the algae is using her to get into my pool.
But I don't know much about where algae comes from and where it hangs out. The ground around here isn't marshy and even if it was, she's a cat, so she's not going to be spending her time in puddles. The mud makes me think that she's either trapesing through the garden or hanging out under the pool shed.
Oh yeah and if anyone knows of any way to make pool water less appetizing to cats, I'd like to know about that, too.
