The little orange cat I [referred to](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/season-of-the-kvetch-october-mini-rants/1023563/346) in last month’s mini-rants seems to be trying to claim us, which we unfortunately can’t allow because we already have the maximum number of pets permitted by our lease. Along the way, we’ve found that said kitten is actually female, beating the odds for an orange cat (about 80% of orange cats are male).

For now, we consider her a frequent visitor, not a household member. To my relief, she does understand about the litterbox (I’ve seen her making use thereof). I just hope she’ll soon master burying her deposits! She produces a lot of exhaust for such a small kitty, and the odor is almost as big as she is.
