We have a white bath mat in front of the vanity in our bathroom, which
is on the 2nd floor of the house. The litter boxes are in the
basement, a full two staircases below our bathroom.

Yesterday morning, I noticed a brown smudge on the bath mat. When I
put my glasses on, I noticed that the brown smudge was, in fact, a paw
print. I didn't lean down to sniff, but I'm reasonably certain that
the brown was #2.  However, and here is the mystery, there is only ONE
paw print, not a trail, and as far as I can tell, there is no other #2
in the bathroom, or any where else in the vicinity.   Did the maker of
the print limp around on 3 legs until finding the white mat on which
to leave his signature?

Inquiring minds want to know...
