3. When Ember was a kitten, she used to put one paw

over the litter box to let the clean litter run over the paw as I poured it in. It was so damned funny, like she was testing the quality.

She was so tiny then that I used an empty boot box as a litter pan. The sides were low enough for her to get in an out of and she produced so little due to her size that I didn't worry about urine seeping through to the cardboard.

I put her on the bathroom scales when I first took her home. The needle didn't move enough to get much of a reading.

Now she's 8 years old and weighs 9 1/2 pounds. About 24" long from shoulders to rump and around 12"+ inches in height. Hard to know for sure because she always want to play with the measuring tape or stick and won't stand still for me. Hind quarters are higher than the shoulders.
