Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I would like to address the seller directly, but I don’t see the option, so I will leave a review... I just received the mat in the mail and had been looking forward to this innovative litter trapping, and saving, litter box mat. I opened the bag, and I am not exaggerating at all, but the STRONGEST stench of cat urine came wafting out of that bag. It is absolutely not the smell of rubber or a manufacturing chemical-it is most definitely cat urine. My husband verified this and if I could stand the risk of my cats smelling it and peeing on it, I’d keep it for a day or two to verify with visitors! However, I’m boxing this up and putting it on the porch for UPS to pick up. I would like to know why and how this happened or if anyone else has experienced this? I have seriously smelled the mat 10+ times because I just can’t believe that it would smell like cat pee. I want it to be a factory related chemical. But it isn’t! It’s urine! How?! Why?! I guess someone used it, didn’t like it and before returning it their cat peed on it...? Or maybe it was a “test mat” and the resident quality control kitty was annoyed at his boss for not providing fresh Atlantic salmon for lunch and pissed on the mat as revenge...? I hope no one else has his problem, but I thought I would share in hopes of getting some kind of explanation.
