Being an extrovert with sanguine tendencies, feelings of guilt seldom motivate me, at least not usually. This is particularly true when it comes to cleaning. Mark and I keep the apartment tolerably clean, but we've discovered that we tend to let things slide unless we have people over. A lot. Interior motivation is apparently worthless; public shame, however, is enough to get me going.

When I was subbing in there one day I created a de-fuzzing work for the rug, because the children were fascinated by pulling the fuzz off of it and creating giant fuzz balls instead of singing with me at group time (couldn't be my voice... could it?). Anyway, it was a big hit with the kids, maybe you could teach your cat to de-fuzz the rug and put the fuzz in the appropriate garbage receptacle?
