We have two neurotic animals that are driving me slightly insane. Our indoor cat dislikes our outdoor cats immensely. If they come in to visit and leave a little "present" in the litter box, Miss Prissy goes into freak-out mode and promptly starts using any rubber-backed rug in protest. We no longer have area rugs or rubber mats down on the floor because she will mark it with stinky bodily fluids. You can imaging the amount of dirt and mud we are tracking in with no mats in front of our doors.
This is a problem for the dog. See, he has his own neurosis - he can not step on any hard floor without freaking out. If he ventures too far onto our Pergo kitchen floor, he freezes then tries to lurch to safety, causing his legs to slide out from under him. After he falls down, he refuses to move until someone comes along and scoots him towards a carpeted surface.
We have tile by the only door the dog uses to go outside. If there isn't a rug down, he refuses to step over the threshold. If there is, the cat will ruin it.

Hey laday, you gots some pet problems.
Do you want my cat to come over and teach your cat how to pee in the sink?
Ewwww! I'm afraid my hubby would boot all our kitty butts out the door - permanently - if that happened. He's been looking for an excuse. :P
Cesar Milan did a Dog Whisperer (well, two actually) about dogs that won't walk on shiny floors. Get you some Dog Whisperer taped! It's on the National Geographic channel.
I remember the one family had "stepping stones" of rugs so their dog would walk on the new shiny wood floors. Very funny!
Oh, and Ditto has decided to pee on her bed once I day, so I feel you on the stinky body fluids...
Ooo, we love that guy. He's really good. LOL - I can see the rug scenario in my mind. (I should go watch in IRL now...)
