Why You Need a Cat Box Mat
Litter tracking is common. Your cat jumps out of the litter box and tiny pieces of litter follow everywhere—carpets, floors, under your feet.

- Owners with deep-groove mats saw the most success, based on tests by cat experts.
Nobody likes finding cat litter in the bed, kitchen, or on the couch. It gets everywhere—especially if you have more than one cat. Litter can damage floors and make your house feel dirty. It can even carry smells and germs you do not want.

What to Look for in a Cat Box Mat
Every home and cat is different, but some features matter most.
1. חוֹמֶר
- גוּמִי: Durable, heavy, easy to wash
- סיליקון: Soft, flexible, lasts a long time
- מיקרופייבר: Good at trapping fine dust
- PVC: Easy to rinse, affordable
2. גודל וצורה
- Choose a mat that fits your litter box and the room.
- Big mats trap more litter. Small mats work well if you have little space.
3. מִרקָם
- Deep grooves or honeycomb patterns hold the most litter.
- Smooth mats look nice but trap less.
4. בְּטִיחוּת
- Non-slip bottoms stop the mat from sliding.
- Toxin-free materials keep pets safe.
5. קלות ניקוי
- Mats that shake clean or rinse with water are easiest.
- Some can go in the washing machine.

The Path to a Cleaner Home: Real Solutions for Cat Owners
