I was hoping my cats would wipe their paws on it so they don't track litter into the room...would that be a good use for this mat?

Karl, my cat does not like walking on it much but she is finicky with her feet, which is why she doesn't like the feel of the litter in the box. But she does use the mat, rather than the box, so I would think most cats would be comfortable "wiping" their feet on it. It's soft.

Yes it would work great for that I have another one at my back door so the dogs dont bring wood chippings in when they walk in the flower bed.

Yes but mat sheds grass bad when washed even by hand.I will not buy another of this brand!

I'm wondering this as well - we have a cat that will not use a litter box but will use puppy pads.... thinking of trying one of these. Anybody try this yet?

If you're looking for a mat with a suction-type base like what can be found for bathtubs...then no, this mat is not what you're looking for. However, it will keep your kitty from sliding all around in your sink as you bathe it. I have a similiar one in a larger size that I use for bathing our little yorkie in a laundry room sink and it works just great. Hope this helps you make a decision.

I guess you could do that.... It would probably look homemade, but if that doesn't bother you, go for it. I love not having the litter tracked out onto my floor and my cat doesn't mind the different styled container. It's a win-win for me.

I use this litter and added a litter catcher mat in front of the litter box. The cats tend to drop all the crystals in there when they hop out of the box ( I have a cover on it).

If you want space for kitty's who are overzealous one good size litter box or two very small liter boxes... Mat didn't work well for my cat as he decided he preferred to do his business on the mat rather than in the liter box.

Sorry I can't help with this answer; my cats always go in the litter box - this mat is simply meant to catch litter. And it don't see how it's not waterproof: it's rubber, so it can't not be waterproof. (excuse my double negative.)

My cats still have their claws and it isn't material that appeals to them. We really like it - it takes up a large space but it works great at keeping the litter tracking down.

It's not that easy to clean because of the texture. Easiest way I found is to take it outside and spray it off with a garden hose and to use some kind of neutralizing agent (Nature's Miracle or something like that) to neutralize the urine so that the cats don't keep just urinating on the mat instead of going into the litter box.

My cats rarely kill and when they do they leave by the back door as an "offering". I've only had mine for about 6 weeks and so far I like it. I think it will be most useful in cold weather, it's hot here in Texas right now. Maybe if you just take the cushion out every few days you would be able to remove something before it gets gross. Most cats probably don't bring their pray into their sleeping area, at least none of mine ever have.

My cats are still getting used to it but but very often they've found another spot (a dirty towel left on the bathroom floor, bathmat, or wherever they think they'll get away with it.) I try not to clean it directly after they've eaten or feed them after I've cleaned it (we use the manual cleaning mode.)

I highly believe it does. The mat has small circles through out that seem to catch the litter fine, there is also a slight indent around the edge that allows you to sweep the cat litter to that section and fold it to clean it off and the mat uses the same fabric as a yoga mat which is suprisingly amazing.

It seems to work great for my 2 cats. I like the fact that it has the draw on the inside to keep scoops and bags in and out of the way. I put a bath mat on the inside also and it keeps the litter mess on the inside.

It is flat and sturdy, I think it would protect your carpet depending upon the size and use of the litter box. If it is used heavily, kitty paws will track the stuff anyway.

Sorry,but it does track.I have five cats so I'm thinking about putting those tiles with the holes at the bottom to trap the litter.I can deal with the tracking over the dust any day of the week.Also remember the cat breathes in all that dust and frangrances.

It won't to be honest. Our cats tend to jump out (sending litter flying as they do), though even when they step out they carry a lot. Also, due to the narrow opening and little of any airflow in the Litter Robot, the waste regularly stays quite moist rather than drying some during the delay between cat use and cycle rotation, so that contributes when they step in small moist or sticky particles that didn't get disposed into the drawer (or if the same or another cat entered again before it cycled which does happen). This unit is overpriced for the many issues that still need attention. Markedly the airflow and operation issues (litter that is moist gets stuck and jammed in the doors).

Yes. Its very cushiony and holds the litter scatter pretty well. Remember the cats actually touch it for about one second before or after they do their business ;)
