Would have been nice if the clown that I dug out repeatedly would have though ahead enough to do something similar. In a real pinch your floor mats will also work similarly.

As for cleanup, most kitty litter is just clay, so unless it's the scented stuff cleanup shouldn't really be an issue I wouldn't think.
