Boy, food on the desk! She is a spoiled kitty! But she deserves every bit of it.

As for a suggestion on the rug, I would think if you got one that fits under the entire table, it might look nice and be a functional, and something with a little "nubbiness" to it helps because it "grabs" the litter more than a rug that is just plain flat. The "nubbiness" also helps hid the litter more. Have you tried a covered litterbox? I don't have one of those, but I know others do and it seems it would also somewhat help keep the litter contained - especially when she feels the need to dig to China. Although some kitties don't like the covered ones, so that might not be an option for the little princess.

The rugs are relatively easy to clean also. Just either vacuum, or since you have hardwood floors and probably don't vacuum much, just take it outside and shake it out. Although beware, because you'll probably be amazed at how much litter is in the rug. One time I just kept shaking and shaking and shaking and litter was still coming out! I just couldn't get rid of it all.

Good luck and let us know what you find.
