Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this litter mat after moving into a new house. In our previous house we had a large utility room for the cats and it didn't really matter how far the litter went flying. In the new place, the litter box ended up in the living area and we needed a way to contain the mess. While there will always be some litter that sticks to your furry little friends for miles and makes it into the couch, bed, and everywhere else, this mat certainly does a really nice job of keeping that initial explosion right outside the litter box in one place. On a normal rug or mat, simply walking across it will track more further and further away every time, but with this one it falls through to the point where it can't be re-tracked. Also, it cleans and dumps out easily, some other mats we've had would catch the litter and never let go, they were impossible to get clean. The big version of the mat really isn't that big, and it would be nice to have an even larger size. However, it is also big enough to the point where if you did want to wash it in a laundry sink, it's hard to get it under the faucet. Definitely best to use a garden hose if weather permits, but most of the time there's no need to wash it with water. Unless of course your cat likes to barf on everything but linoleum like ours does.
