When mt cat over shoots the litter box how absorbant is this pad?

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.

I bought the pad mainly due to a problem with litter being kicked out of the box so not sure that I can fully answer the question. Previously I had newspaper under it but one cat enjoys shredding paper. The pad is wonderful for helping to control the litter spatter. As near as I know, she has not used the pad rather than the box. This had been a problem when she was a kitten before I got multiple boxes. The pad is very sturdy so I should think it would be worth a shot. If needed, you might try an old shower curtain or vinyl cloth underneath. I love the pad for my purposes, particularly as it is in my bedroom and helps to make the box less unsightly.

I think I buy the 40 lb. bag and have plenty left over. I have the jumbo disposable boxes. I have one cat. I fill the jumbo box 80% to the top and over time it decreases b/c of use. This litter is so absorbent, that I can just add more litter to return it to 80% once it gets too low. No odors, no urine gets to the bottom b/c the litter absorbs it so well and quickly. Best litter I ever bought.

The heading pad is a solid thin mat but is covered with a soft foam and cloth cover. I have it on my cats perch indoors. He loves it. Another review says it is barely warm. If the cat is not on it is feels barely warm. If your cat is laying on it and you put your hand between the cat and the pad it is very warm this is for safety. The inside mat is solid so it is water resistand and kitty nails won't damage it, all safety measures to prevent fires. Also a heating pad can get to warm and actually burn your cat, or electrocute them.

we clean out the solids weekly, and mix up the litter to distribute the pee throughout the box. Our cat tends to pee in spot, so litter in that area breaks down faster. Mixing it in with the clean litter makes it last longer. Have to admit though, the crystals don't do a great job at absorbing pee.

We have had it for a couple of months and our cat has not used as a scratching pad. I think th nature of the material is a deterant to scratching, but it does a great job of picking up the stray litter.

Fine, clumping litter that has the smallest amount of dust because you shake it up every time you change it. I like the box just fine and prefer it to my old one. Clips held fine. The only thing is that my cats are very big and occasionally they walk straight in and the poop falls outside the box, but that happens with other boxes, too. Just don't overfill because the door is a little low and if they are aggressive buriers it can go out the doorway. Just have a good mat outside the door. I really love ours!

It's not really padded. I bought hay so thecats could have warm bedding. Blankets and towels are useless if they get wet. Hay and straw are better for them and the environment.

After some trial and error I found the BEST litter to use is Ultra/LitterPearls microcrystals! (I have 5 cats using this litter box and my visitors can't smell it!!). It absorbs great and they dont get scraped into the disposal hole by the scraper.

I use a vinyl table cloth on the bottom with a large piece of cardboard on top to absorb anything wet. I also put a litter pan filled with soft litter bedding in the area under the little house. Inside the little house I have small squares of an old soft blanket that I cut up for bedding and the bunny loves it. Hope this is helpful.

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.)

You wouldn't be able to just wipe it because it's a double layer surface with holes. I'd take it out and spray it with the hose then leave it out for a few hours and call it a day. If there's no yard/hose maybe wipe off the top and bottom parts of the mat with a paper towel then final rinse with something damp. It'd be tough to clean between the holes though that way. Maybe final rinse in the sink if you're really tight with your cat? Either way it's one of the best litter traps I've used.

Doesn't track much at all but has a very heavy dust. Absorbency is excellent. Worth a try if you & your cats can adjust to the smell.

I only use one bag at a time. I have three boxes and scoop out solids regularly. I replace the pad a couple of times a week for the younger cats but one a week is plenty for my 19 year old kitty. I remove the wet pellets for the kitties that go in the same spot all the time and throw in a couple of handfuls of fresh litter. I clean the pan and put in fresh pellets at least monthly but this depends on use. My cats each use their own box and do not share.

I can't answer that. I bought these pads as added protection to keep the bed from becoming a soggy mess should an accident occur. They are absorbant but just how much I do not know. They work really well, however, for leakage, if that helps.

My older cat took to it really well. I put a little litter in the center at first, and she quickly converted over to the holder. Clean up is easy, and once I switched to just the pad (no litter with it), there was no litter mess tracked through the room. I changed it once a day.

Our solution is two-fold, and slightly more costly. We use slightly over one bag of pellets, about 1 1/3 bag. The pad is changed twice in a week. The cat is happier, so are we. We find it far easier to replace the pad a bit more often.

I just read the can and it says to ventilate well after spraying carpets and other items. I would have the carpet very dry so the cat does not inhale any of the very toxic particulants.
