Cat Box

I finally figured it out. I was wrong before, but some time spent observing has set me straight.What is the main reason we have cat litter on the floor near the cat box? It isn't that the cats are flinging it out while trying to dig and then cover a hole. No, like World War II POWs, they're smuggling the dirt out in the cuffs of their trousers--or in their case, stuck to the fur of the legs and between their toes.

I will probably obsess about a solution for the next week or so, but deep down I understand that the only solution is the one we now use: A broom applied several times a day.

Still, I hate walking through that room barefoot.
