I have 4 indoor cats. So today, my tortoise shell cat decided to show the feral cat i feed outside just whose turf it was. As I was collecting the empty dish in the predawn glimmer, she snuck out. She was gone well past noon, and I went outside a couple of times to call her & look under bushes, etc. Then, just after coming in from one of these fruitless hunting excursions, I heard frantic scratching at the door. I opened up immediately, and the escapee came in at a trot. But did she dash to her food or water bowl? Nope. She made a bee line to the litter box!

With all of the outdoors to pee in, she came back home to use the facilities. Cats! They make their own rules.
