Not bad but not good either We use World’s best cat litter and I think the cat throws litter from the box just to spite us. We put this mat out and it does collect her litter. However, unless you vacuum this mat you sitll have litter dust all over the thing; sweeping alone does not get the litter off the mat. Then one day I found this exact same mat at our big box home improvement store. It was the same size and everything but it wasn’t folded, rolled, and put in a box to market it for cat use. It was marketed for boots, lying flat, and less than half the price.
Best among no perfect mats We have had one of these mats for years and after trying several others, it’s the only one with which we are 95% satisfied. Because it is ridged “carpeting” it keeps the litter as close to the box as we’ve been able to accomplish. The current one finally got smelly after about 5-6 years and I have been on an odyssey trying to find another one, as none of the local (SF Bay Area) pet stores seem to carry it anymore. The mats with the synthetic big looped fibers which are not carpet-like, as this one is, catch on our cats’ claws and they hate that and end up pulling the mat up over and over as a result – “thumpa, thumpa, thumpa” – and they invariably scratch on the mat if litter is spilled. These loopy mats also let the litter spill beyond the mat and you also can’t sweep the litter off those mats. The ridged foam ones get torn up within days; little foam tubes all over the house. The other smaller ones we’ve tried do not keep the litter close to the box. This one can be washed outside with a hose and is porous so it dries in the sun fairly quickly. Not instantaneously though, so you have to plan for sun when you wash it. As far as we are concerned, its only drawback is that it can’t be washed and dried by machine. Thank the kitty gods that they still make it!
Good Litter Mat We use this with our regular old litter box. It does a great job of keeping the litter contained and our floors protected. The size is generous, but not too big. It’s much better than those tiny plastic mats that you see in the pet stores. I’m buying another for our other box.
