15. It's amazing how quickly they figure that part out!

The last time I brought a kitten home, a feral, I didn't know I was going to have a cat when I got up that morning. I had food on hand as I was looking to get one but a friend took me to a place where they saw her mom and thought I should take that cat. The mom had a multitude of veterinary issues and would have been really expensive to rehabilitate. But then I heard kittens and found three in the hay barn. I could only afford one so I took her home and rescued the others. When I got that little mewing bellows home, I quickly grabbed a box, put some dirt from the yard in it and set her in it and it took her one second to figure out what it was for! I bought some litter the next day. She used that until I started letting her outside after she was spayed. I kept a box in the house in winter but she never used it unless it was -20F or colder. She had her own door so she was happier going outside.
