The Dark Pond

This pond looks like a cat should be able to wade through it, the water is so thick with lily pads and duckweed. At the very edge, however, the ground drops nearly a tail-length, and it does not get any shallower further into the water. It takes great strength to clamber back out of this pool once a cat has fallen in, and the bank is more than likely to give way under a cat's weight.
