A few months back a stray cat befriended us. At that stage she was happy to live out but on Easter Sunday she got into our utility room and had 4 kittens. They are all doing really well and we have homes for them.
For several reasons I like to keep the cats confined to one area of the house. The cat has access through a window to go in and out but can't get into the kitchen/living area unless we let her in (which we do when we are here and it suits).
A couple of times now when I have been here but can't have her in the main room she has waited patiently to come in and when I ignored her she went back in the window, got one of her kittens and brought it out to the door where I can see her.
She is so clever. She knows I won't let the kitten stay outside for long so if she takes one out I have to let them both in. She really lays on the guilt, sitting there looking smug while the poor little kitten cries to come in.
So cute but so devious
