Happiness is a warm cat (Explored)

Kitty, or "the kitty" as he used to be called adopted our house and spent the summer living on our porch. We were able to locate his owners and we thrice returned him to them, only to have him return to us as soon as they let him out of the house. The owners came to the realization that the cat wanted to live with us and offered him to us. Initially, I did not want the responsibility of cat ownership, but I also did not want him to freeze outside during the winter so my husband and I accepted. Kitty has now endeared himself to us. He had been so used to living outdoors, that he refuses to use the kitty litter, preferring to go outside whenever he needs to go. Needless to say, whenever Kitty wants to go out, we take him. We are still trying to train him to learn to use the kitty litter for emergencies when he can not get out in time. He is not afraid of entering the litter box, but he thinks that it is something to roll around in, rather than do his business.
