To Jill K: Hello. I have two ferrets and three cats, and I understand your problem. There is a mat that is designed for cat litter boxes. When the cats step out of the litter, it tracks all the litter from there little paws. It works wonderful. I wish I remembered the name of it, I got it so long ago from a catalog that specialized in cats. I would ask your local pet store, or you might want to check a place that only specialize in cats. Sorry, I couldn't give you more detail than that. But there is such a thing as a cat mat that tracks litter. Good Luck. Kimberly [Posted in FML issue 1018]
