Answer 1

15 branches

Explanation:

First it went up to the sixth branch.

+6 = 6

A big squirrel scared the kitten, and it claimed down three branches

+6 -3 = 3

a bird flew at the kitten and scared it again . Now it claimed up 10 branches.

+6 -3 + 10 = 13

The kitten claimed back down 2 branches

+6 -3 + 10 -2 =11

and then went up 4 branches to the very top of the tree.

+6 -3 + 10 -2 +4 = 15
