	Some of our cats do the same thing; it appears to be a common cat
idiosyncrocy.  Our litter box is located in a bathroom adjacent to the toilet.
One of our cats has the particular habit of pawing the ceramic base of the
toilet after completing her potty within the litterbox.

	Strange little suckers, aren't they?
