One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that most cats are drawn to
actually using the cat litter whether it's the litter box or the
mainline! Since we have three cats, of which two venture into the
trainroom, taking a chance isn't a good idea. My wife will change the
litter box and the cats will line up just waiting to use it. I actually
photographed a cat for the packaging for one brand of litter. The cat
was one of those fussy, stuck-up, long-haired white felines, (needless
to say we didn't hit it off, so getting it to pose was out of the
question) while the litter itself came from a mine in Georgia--it's
really just a clay. As Roger suggests it resembles the marble found on
the Monon, so I suppose one could actually use the stuff for a clay mine
too!
