<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

A little background; I have never owned a cat before. I do now because my sister in-law is having a her second child soon + they moved to a place where they're not allowed to have a cat. I have house sat for them several times in the past with no issues (I seem to get on with most animals with not much effort on my part, most pets seem to take a liking to me). 
 So when the baby/moving issue came up I was asked to adopt Rae (female de-sexed Manx). I hesitantly said yes being more of a dog person than a cat person but since adopting her I have enjoyed it and wouldn't change a thing. 
 Now to the FU. I have been changing her litter pretty regularly, every 3-4 days. Today though it had been 5 days because I couldn't get any new litter until today. When I got home she was prancing around her tray like she was trying to tell me something as well as playing with a little bit of litter that she sometimes knocks out of the tray when she covers her business up. I picked up the tray and took it outside to the bin and emptied it into a bag then into the bin. I then filled the tray with her fresh litter and proceeded inside to put it where it goes, only to find her finishing off taking a dump right where the tray normally is. She did not get punished for this as I believe it was my fault for cleaning her tray on time(plus I am unsure as to how a cat should be punished). Luckily it was pretty solid and easy to pick up with toilet tissue and dispose of it.
<bot>: took to long to change cats litter so she took a dump where the litter tray lives while I was changing it outside.
