After reading your post regarding Zama's new hygiene habits, here is something I'd like to share with you. I, too, have a furkid (Cinco de Mayo), who drastically changed his toilet preferences when my new kit, TT, arrived. After months of picking up scattered messes from my carpet and scrubbing away at the area, I decided to try clear plastic carpet runner. I found a long roll of this at Walmart for around $3.00. The carpet runner has small 'spikes' on the underside which help it adhere to the rug. I cut the c. runner into pieces large enough to accomodate the corners which Cinco preferred. Now it's just a matter of picking up the plastic, mess and all, and dumping the contents into the toilet to be flushed away. I then wash and wipe away any residue from the runner and set it back in the preferred corner. The doorway may be a problem, as I've found the runner changes positions when the door is opened or closed. Double sided carpet tape might be a solution here. As for the fan, I know it's probably hot in Texas and you need air circulation. Could the fan be elevated out of Zama's reach by setting it on a stand or box? If not, maybe the carpet runner will work here, too, by tipping the fan slightly to remove the runner for cleaning. That is, unless the legs of the fan are part of the mess. I hope this helps you. lol Greta Hoisington [Posted in FML issue 4081]
