Oh and with her first litter (that we knew of) it was January and she just showed up (was dropped off), we brought her inside because it was so cold. She lived in the basement until she had them, her choice as she was fairly tame but not a fan of the noise of humans (we always left the door open), one day after they started to walk and were going EVERYWHERE....She carried the four upstairs leaving the loudest til last, dropped them all off right outside the kitchen door. Looked my mother right in the eye as she dropped the last one and stalked off downstairs for some peace and quiet presumably.
My mom couldn't stop laughing for 20 minutes. I didn't get WHY it was funny until I was an adult and babysat for several large families.
