That's the nice thing about having 20 cats .... each one could produce a book full of stories.
Brian, for example. Brian came to me after some crackheads had stuffed him in a bag and bashed him against a concrete wall. Every bone in his body was broken and he had severe brain damage. So, naturally, the vet who found him (bloody on the doorstep of the clinic -- still in the bag), asked me to take him. He was having seizures every few minutes, so I had him in a kennel cage for his first few weeks, just to make sure he didn't hurt himself.
One day, I took out his litterbox so that I could clean it. As I was bringing it back to put in the cage, I noticed that Brian had gone to the bathroom on the cage floor where the litterbox would normally go.
I put the box down and went back into the kitchen to get some Lysol to clean the cage.
As I returned, I saw Brian looking around the cage with great perplexity (I hope that's a word). His eyes hit the small scratching post and you could see the lightbulb going off ....
He then took both paws, wrapped them around the post and dragged it over the spot where the poop and pee was sitting. Not quite ... lift it up a tech ... and then pull .... right, now it's all covered. He turned to me an flashed me a little kitty smile.
Ah, Brian. He's still a little socially challenged, but he hasn't had a seizure in years, and he's quite the idiot savant.
