From Christian Hansbauer

When we were children, every time our cat had kittens she tried to take them
out of the house to the garden when they were a few weeks old.

It always seems a little cruel when cats carry their kittens by their necks,
so we took a kitten out to help the mother. But even though the cat saw all her
kittens in the garden, she “remembered” that she had left one behind.

Back in the house, she was very confused, and we had to bring a kitten back
to put things in order. So cats can probably only count up to one.
