Question
My cat uses the box but leaves with litter on his paws.But  he jumps up on the kitchen table and leaves cat sand there.. How can we stop this nasty habit?

Answer
Hi
the simple solution is to change the type of litter you are using to something that won't stick to his paws. My cat was the same, we used to use the gravel type but as you say we kept on getting gravel left everywhere in the house when it came off of her paws. Now we use the paper type, it is smoother and doesn't get stuck in her fur.
the other option is to place mats all around the tray so that when they come out they wipe if off, but this doesn't always work if the cat jumps a long way out of the tray.
