Some use straps attached to their throne to tether the creeping things but this is not the answer. Simple fix: a drum rug. There are many available online that are just as good and come in different dimensions for your size.  I buy mine from the hardware store ( Home Hardware $85) in dimensions of 48" x 72" and it has lasted for over 20 years with little signs of wear. Made for outdoor entrances, they are rubber backed and very tough. Also they are very easy to clean either with a carpet shampooer, garden hose or pressure washer. Once I sprayed, soaped and scrubbed mine off at a carwash on the way home from a particular beer spilled night!
