The latter means the Ultimo.

For instance I will write some examples.

The latter that you can do in your life is not know the Cenotes from Merida.

The latter that you did the Monday was eat seafood in a restaurant placed in Carmen city.

I hope that those examples can help you or at least to be of great helpful for you.

Pienso que confundes "the last" y "the latter"

The last thing (última cosa) that you did the Monday was eat seafood in a restaurant placed in Carmen city.

'The latter' (and 'the former') is what you're talking about. There are two ways to say these phrases.

The way I learned it uses 'aquéllo' for the former and 'éste' for the latter (make sure you apply correct gender and number to these pronouns). These words are the same as the demonstrative pronouns for 'that (further away)' and 'this'. If you look at your example sentence with the apples and cat, the cat was the last thing said. It's closer (memory-wise) than the apples. So, the 'closer' item is represented by the word that means 'this' and the item that is further away is represented by the word that means 'that (further away)'. Your example adds the adjective 'última' to the mix. That's just for emphasis, nada más.
Tengo manzanas y una gata. Ésta me gusta más.

The other way to say 'the former' and 'the latter' is to use 'el primero' and 'el segundo' (remember to consider gender and number when using these nouns).
Tengo manzanas y una gata. La segunda me gusta más.
