English word “litter” is rooted in the old French word, and it has two related meanings that apply to cats. A “litter” of kittens reflects the idea that a cat “took to her bed” to give birth. The “litter” in a litter box is a sort of “bed of soil” (or recycled newspaper, pine or whatever you use for litter) for the cat to deposit its waste discreetly.
