Is this mat water waterproof? Soemtimes my cat misses the box a little bit.

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.

The backing is a rubber like material. My cats miss periodically as well, and it has not soaked through this backing. To be safe, I would say it is at least "water resistant".

I wouldn't go as far as to say waterproof but it will catch some liquid if not too much . It also washes well on the gentle cycle but I wouldn't put it in a dryer . As for catching tracked litter, it is marginal at best . I still have litter tracked , maybe not as much , but it's still happening

I love this box. My cat used to make a royal mess covering and getting the litter everywhere! Now he just covers from the inside or the front. No litter outside the box except a little in front when he gets out.

It will not protect the floor. I'm trying to decide if I should send mine back, because it works well for catching the litter, but my cat has decided to use his box for pooping only, and has been peeing on the mat. I've tried cleaning it, even spraying it down with vinegar, because vinegar is supposed to be an odor eliminator, but it's not helping. I have afolded towel under the mat for now, so that my wood floor doesn't get ruined. Not happy at all.

I would echo the other response. The actual mat is waterproof. While the manufacturer would likely not approve I removed the blue fuzzy cover as the hair was impossible to clean off and substituted pillow cases which washed easier.

It's laminated particle board, easy to clean with spray cleaner and a rag, but I wouldn't immerse it or use it outdoors. The inside of the enclosure will be much easier to clean if you caulk all of the seams in the part where the cat box goes. My cat never 'missed' her previous box, but does occasionally miss this one and the urine will just pool inside and not seep into the corners if you silicone caulk it after assembly. We sometimes place an absorbant puppy pad face down underneath the cat pan to keep the 'puddling' at bay and make cleanup easier, but the moisture doesn't hurt the MDF unless it seeps into the corners...I cannot urge the use of caulk enough. I thought my cat would never pee outside the pan! That said, the cat ADORES this damn thing so much, thinks it's her own 'kitty condo', we even put a placemat and her food and water on top, she loves it, good purchase for us as no curious dogs or nieces in the poop, and it's a nice place to sit to put on shoes in our mudroom.

Yes, I think there may be rubber or plastic, but it has a grassy feel. Now that I think about, it probably isn't rubber. You can always return if your cat won't walk on it. Hope this helps

The box is made of wood and while it has been varnished, I would say it is somewhat water resistant. The sides are close slats and not joined which allows lots of air through the box which allows objet inside to dry and air out. Of course, the sides would definitely rule out a waterproof box. I am going to add a coat of polyurethane or something similar to the top of the bos as an additional preventative against weathering.

My cats did the same thing, water everywhere . This mat is great for solvingthat problem. I also got the bowls with the non-skid bottom. Cats!

Mine has started significantly leaking after only a few days of running. I come home and the place-mat I have it set on it completely soaked through within a matter of an hour or less. I thought it was my cats splashing at the fountain, but it is definitely leaking like crazy.

It's all wood but I would definately say it's water proof, it's white with like a protective coating over it.What we did also is buy clear contact paper and covered it still because of they miss the potty all the urine goes under the litter box and u wont know it for how long...an idea from experience...LOL we put cat beds on top and they love it... now if u decide to stop using it as a potty my girlfriend put beds/blankets inside and they love it. Well hope this helps. Have a good one.

It's a dark cherry, in my opinion, and I was in the furniture business years ago. No, the top isn't waterproof. I keep a mat over the top for every day use. I always use placemats, too.

Yes, it works fine. The crystals work to dry the poop before it is pushed into the "storage area" so it can stunk for a while, but after it gets moved it is the same as if the cat buried it. You can adjust the time that the box waits before "pushing."

I don't know for sure, I don't have that problem with my cats. I did spray some water around the edges where the top connects to the bottom and there was no leakage. The only problem I see is if your cat sprays toward the entrance to the box.

No. It is not waterproof because it has an open grid window to see that the mail is in it. Mine is on a porch so it does stay dry.

It's not really "waterproof", and there are small holes in the bottom. Depending on how much your cat urinates, it will seep onto the floor. But the pad itself is super easy to clean.
