My cat is having bladder issues. Is this liquid proof and easy to clean? Tough enough to handle small scratches?

easy clean think it can with stand liquid and leather is thick but will still scratch

Personally I don't find it difficult to clean. With one cat I can clean it about once a week, maybe slightly more often, which works out to about every time I need to fill it, too.

As mentioned, very easy to clean! Super easy system, pretty cheap upkeep (really, 3 filters will last you 3-6 months, so 1-2 bucks a month tops). Best of all, my boy cat drinks way more now, which potentially can save thousands of dollars by avoiding a urinary blockage. :-)

Nope. I used to have some issues with the smaller size, but I haven't had any with the current issue. This is maybe the third I've had. They do sometimes wear out and the plunger on the water vat on my last broke. I tried to glue it but after it broke again I replaced the whole unit. I'm very happy with the larger size and my two large cats are too. It doesn't seem to require cleaning as soon as the smaller one did.

I have a large bengal cat who loves playing in his water dish. Despite trying to wipe the water off as often as I was able the wood veneer did crack after about four months of use. If your pet doesn't regularly splash water everywhere you should be fine.

This is great for cats with declawed or not. When you fill it with clumping litter it is deep enough that the cat does not rip the liners. I have not had a problem. clumping happens and the rest of the litter sifts through. place in disposable bag and put in more clumping type litter. I would recomed this product. I found something similar at Walmart but couldnt find them so orderd through amazon.

I've used one wipe on the interior of my cat carrier. It does calm my cat during rides to the vet.

My cat is like that too. LR won't clean it, but the walls wont get extra dirty either. There will be urine on the wall, that's all.

I do not have a cat so I cannot truly answer you first question. All I know is that it washes and drys beautifully. The fabrics seems very secure. My dog pulls it off the chair to found the treats she hides in it and I have had no problems.

I think it would be OK. One of my cats had some sort of accident on it--throw up or worse--and it did not go through to the floor. The only think is you have to be careful carrying it if you take it to clean it, as it is open on both ends.

Hi Dorothy. I would not consider absorbancy to be a major attribute of this pad. It is like Astro Turf and the bottom of the pad does not have padding that would completely block urine from going through. The pad does "repel" small amounts of liquid though (as mentioned in the product description). We bought the pad primarily to catch litter from cats' paws on their way out. It is also good to catch any feces that might attach to your cat's tail. We have a long hair Main Coon, and sometimes he has issues with that. The pad provides ample coverage and the neutral tone goes with pretty much any decor. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Specifically got this because my older cat sometimes misses the pan. This is by far the best cat mat I've ever found! I've never had a problem with leaking & it washes up like new! If yours leaks it must be a defect. Do make sure the indents are facing up to catch & hold any spills but it should be keeping your floor dry!!!!

It is pretty durable, I had 6 cats (3 per tube) in these on a 2,000 mile move. 3 were feral cats and there was no problem.

It's pretty sturdy, but accidents can happen, especially if nails are not trimmed. Because I wasn't very diligent with the nail trimming, my cat ended up puncturing it, but he wore it for 4 months or so before that happened. His wounds wouldn't heal this time; plus he could reach the lower part of his hind legs. I'm thinking of combining this with the clear plastic cone. There's a picture of a cat wearing it, so it appears to fit well. I tried the soft cone, but it was too big for my poor cat. His peripheral vision was shot, and he was miserable. Didn't want to move at all. 'Hope this helps.

I wouldn't say it's completely waterproof. If it's wiped up quickly, it probably wouldn't go through. I have two and have seen marks from liquid underneath. I spot clean and vacuum and they seem to stay nice. I like much better than the plastic ones.Just can't really attest to the urine problem on these mats but would say it has limited waterproof qualities. Hope that helps.

My previous litter box didn't have liners, so when my cat scratched the bottom, it became very grimy. The liner prevents that and generally makes changing litter easier. I can lift the liner and litter out and throw them all away at once then wipe down the inside, and I find that to be a lot cleaner.

We do not have pets and have no experience with cats. The material is similar to a high quality air mattress. It is hard to imagine that it can be punctured inadvertantly.
