To avoid this in the future you should take your litter box and place it
inside of another larger box.

I have an old dog carrier that I no longer use and I place the litter box
inside it.  It's one the plastic ones with high sides.  I don't put the top
on it I only use the bottom.  This helps catch any litter that the cats kick
out and on that occasional time when one of them misses the box it's caught
in the dog carrier and it's easily cleaned.

Good luck getting the stain out.

>> Good luck!
