GORILLA GRIP Cat Litter Mat, Coiled Mesh Trapping Mats, 35x23 Beige

This cat mat was perfect for my earlier needs: small enough to fit in a cramped laundry room or bathroom, and a great first line of defense against the litter my cat inevitably tracks out after doing her business. It works really well. You can actually see the litter collecting at the front of the litter box entrance instead of spreading dust everywhere like before. Cleaning it can be a bit annoying, especially if your cat has an accident on it (happened once, and paper towels did not survive the cleanup thanks to the mat’s texture). To clean I typically vacuum weekly or more and shake it out every month. What you might want to know before buying, especially if you're a first-time cat owner: 1. Litter type matters: The amount of tracking depends heavily on the litter brand and type. If you’re using wood pellets (though some debate their safety for cats, do your research and talk to a vet!), tracking and dust will be minimal, and this mat would likely catch 100% of what’s left. For finer, more granular litter (which I use), I’d estimate this mat catches 75–90% of what gets tracked out. That’s a win in my book - the less litter I find scattered around, the better. 2. Consider your litter box, your space, and your cat’s behavior: This mat worked great when I had a smaller space. Now that I’m in a larger laundry room, I’m thinking of upgrading to a bigger mat. Cats have weird personalities and big opinions at times, and not all love the texture of litter mats. Some will run, leap over it, or try to avoid it altogether. Thankfully, my cat tolerates it, but in the bigger space, she’s stepping off the mat sooner - which means more litter ends up on the floor. If you’ve got a particularly messy cat, a top-entry litter box might help reduce tracking. I’ve seen this work well for friends. Just make sure the mat is big enough and well-positioned so your cat has to step on it when exiting.

This thing works! It's much bigger than I was thinking, but that's alright! Thick material and has good weight to it. Definitely not a cheap litter mat! Doesn't slide around and keeps the cat box area much cleaner and free of random litter pieces! Super easy to clean up and keeps my hardwood floors protected and much cleaner than before I had this!

Traps litter well. Easy on paws. Decent size. Be warned though if your cats love chewing on things, they will absolutely annihilate this product. Had mine for 2 weeks and I have to throw it out because they're destructive little rascals. Otherwise decent product.

This has actually helped decrease litter scatter. Very pleased

Listen, I love cats, but I absolutely loathe stepping on the litter grains they inevitably track. These mats are surprisingly soft and cushy with great flexibility and do a pretty good job of containing rogue grains and are easy to shake off over the litter box once a week. However, anyone who has had cats and tried some type of these mats knows they are not foolproof and some tracking will still occur. I have therefore used them with other countermeasures to preserve my sanity. Read on for the system I've developed after more than 25 years of having multiple cat roommates. In addition to these mats, I purchased a vinyl "rug" that was on clearance. I went for an oversized piece so the sides bent up against the wall, creating a bin to hold any messes or accidents. I anchored the vinyl in place with a staple gun, placing staples about 6 inches apart close to the edges to avoid gapping. Before the vinyl went in, I stapled plastic sheeting (3 or 4 mil) to keep the fine dust particles contained. After the vinyl was in place I taped an additional strip of sheeting to hang down over the edges of the vinyl, in case any cats epically miss with a stream; this sheet is specifically intended to prevent pee from dripping down between the vinyl and wall (I've been down that road and it isn't a good time). And very important: I installed a Levoit air purifier, because with time, dust will coat all the surfaces and it is gross. An air filter is a MUST if you have allergies or you have a cat with asthma (coughing or wheezing is a sign and our pocket panther has mild symptoms. Air purifiers cut his coughing fits to a minimum). To make it easier to see, I installed two magnetic mount LED lights with motion sensor or always on settings. You may notice in the video I have a curtain rod and shower curtain over the entrance to further isolate the space. With all these measures in place I am happy to report I have kept litter dispersal outside Kitty Cove to a minimum. At least 90% of the litter remained in Kitty Cove. With it contained, all I needed to do for weekly cleaning was a good shake out of the mats over the box, a quick sweep and then some light vacuuming. Everything went back into place, taking about half the time it used to take. Outside Kitty Cove we have plank flooring and every 2 or 3 days I just go over the floor with a dust mop. It's quick, and now takes even less time since there is less litter being tracked through the house. These mats are a win, and even if you don't or can't construct a Kitty Cove, they are still worth the money to cut down on a mess.

A friend recommended the gorilla grip mat to trap litter and it is excellent. Very little litter scatters onto our tile and vacums very easily. good value and weight

It does an OK job of catching a lot of the litter, but still, a lot gets past it. Also, I shake it gently every time I clean the cat litter, and it developed a tear after just a few uses. I have managed to keep the tear from worsening, and I am still using it, but I was disappointed that it would tear so easily. Overall, it is OK. It helps prevent our cats from tracking litter all over the house, but it is definitely not a panacea!

These cat litter catching mats work well to trap most of the cat litter that sticks to both of my cats paws. It is easy to vacuum up from these mats also which helps make it easier for cleanup. I use a stick vacuum for clean up every morning after cleaning out the litter boxes and the litter is easy to vacuum up from these mats. The cats have accepted the texture of the mats, so no problems there. They are also long enough which gives room for capturing the litter as the cats come out of the box. I highly recommend these mats. I purchased the gray color.

This is amazing! We used to have litter everywhere. It doesn't catch EVERYTHING but our cat likes to go the bathroom then run as fast as she can put of the litter box, spraying it everywhere. This catches most of it!

Tinha experimentado vários tapetes mas esse realmente é o melhor

It’s a really good mat. Did not stop tracking completely but definitely reduced it.

Must have one for all cat pets

Excellent. This is our 4th time buying it. It catches the litter and is easy to clean.
