I think my rabbit and cat would be a perfect example. True to their reputation, my male rabbit is quite enamored with my male cat and humps him with vigor at every opportune moment.

I just bought two rolls of recycled paper mulch at my local home improvement store (Menards). It comes in 3 x 50 foot rolls and you can use it just like landscape fabric. At the end of the year you can just till it in. My mother used to use black plastic mulch and at the end of the year it was a PITA to pull up.

My plan is to use basic wood mulch on top to weigh it down with a few large rocks here and there.

I found it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E01E2I
