Wouldn't even need the light part.  The make a motion sensor that can
replace a wall switch.  Like this one:

If that doesn't work for you there are stand alone motion sensors that
could be placed near the cat pan to only detect cats.

If you are really set on a pressure pad sensor, I'd probably gin something
up with an Arduino and a Relay.  More work in HW/SW development, but the
possibilities are endless.  You could log all the cat box activity, send a
text after a set number of visits to remind you to scoop the litter....
This has a high potential for feature creep...  Gotta run now, off to the
shop to start coding....
