> What cat? You mean the Sphinx? It's still locked up. Also, I'm not sure I've seen any mats. Are you talking about the rug in his study?

you have the key to the case in the library, so read the book that's in it. there's a quote about the sphinx which helps tell you what to do with him once you've got him out, and the way to unlock him is in there too. read everything and think about it carefully, it'll seem REALLY obvious once you get it ;-)
