Litter Trapping Efficiency
Pros:
"This little mat does exactly what it promised: it captures almost every bit of cat litter that otherwise would be underfoot."
"Best mat to trap the bits of litter that stick to your cats feet that I have found."
"The litter gets trapped and it doesn’t go everywhere."
"Does an excellent job of catching all the tracked litter."
"It's so easy to take it into the backyard grass every couple of weeks and open it and shake it into the grass."
"No more kitty litter tracked across the floor!"
"Unbelievable how there is no litter tracked throughout the litter box room, which means less sweeping on a daily basis!"
Cons:
"While this does trap some litter, other litter sticks in the hexagon holes and will fall out from the top during the process and end up on the rug or floor."
"It traps litter for sure, but not all of it, so I still have to sweep every other day."
"When I try to fold it and dump it in the trash it goes everywhere."
"Although the mat catches quite a bit of litter, it is impossible to pick the mat up and empty it, without spilling litter everywhere!"
"Instead, things get trapped and there tends to be a pile of litter in the crevices of the mats that are almost impossible to get out."
"Honeycomb shape doesn’t necessarily catch well, and there is always too much litter on top."
"However it does not trap everything. I would say around 50% of the tracking litter gets trapped."
Material and Cleaning
Pros:
"The material is really easy to wipe clean."
"Flexible and soft. The cats had no issues with it."
"The bottom layer is completely waterproof and urine-proof!"
"It's easy to clean even sometimes my naughty cat pees on it."
"The ease of cleaning the mats are wonderful."
"Very simple to clean, just pick it up, and the opening at one end gets dumped right back into the litter box."
"So easy to empty and clean."
Cons:
"However, it is a struggle to empty or clean without creating a very large mess."
"It is a little bit hard to clean when wet litter clumps up by the little tiny honey combs."
"The hexagon shapes makes it time consuming to clean all the openings."
"Sometimes my cat pees on the mat and the litter clumps inside. It's difficult to wash out, even with a hose."
"After a couple weeks of using this mat I realized that the only way to truly clean it (especially if litter was damp) was to haul it out my basement door and hit it with the garden hose."
"Occasionally fecal gets trapped in this mat. It is almost *impossible* to remove the matter AND the smell."
"I find this mat difficult to clean with lightweight cat litter."
Design and Size
Pros:
"I bought the large size and it’s perfect."
"2nd time to buy this mat, this time, I order a bigger one, it's big enough to avoid litters spread all around."
"It's also large, so a good part of it can be trapped under the box so the cat doesn't drag it all over the house."
"Its large size means that your cats have more surface area to walk over."
"It's wide enough to be placed in front of 2 regular size litter boxes side-by-side."
"The size is generous, so it covers a good amount of surface area."
"It's a whopping 30''X24'' in dimensions, which means it can handle even the messiest of kitties."
Cons:
"I wished I had read the size a little bit more. Litter tracks on the floor."
"It is a bit small and doesn't get the best coverage."
"I subtracted a star for the lack of sizing options."
"I did expect it to be a bit larger though."
"Mat was very small! I take full responsibility for not measuring, but be sure you measure your litter area in order not to be surprised at the size."
"The size I got is extremely small and my cat usually doesn’t walk on it anyway."
"I guess we have large litter boxes. It just barely covers the opening width and doesn’t encompass the litter mess zone area."
Odor and Chemical Concerns
Pros:
"It doesn't seem to smell or anything like that."
"The one I received had no odor whatsoever."
"This mat holds in odors smells terribly like cat pee."
