All litter boxes intend to solve the same problem, but they’re not all created equal. Here are our tips for selecting the best for your purposes:
This cat litter mat is everything you’d want from a litter mat and more. It is thick and cushy and for your kitty’s comfort, traps loose litter so you can simply pour back and reuse, and looks great.

Most mats on the market utilize woven mesh to trap and contain, resulting in many mats that look more or less identical. Made for those with different aesthetics, this litter mat features grooves on the top of the mat that catch litter and a raised outer lip so your cat can’t accidentally kick it off the mat once it’s there.
This cat litter mat features a mess-free woven texture that is soft on paws but durable. The refined design prioritizes appearance, so it works well as both a functional item that helps keep the area clean and aesthetics that elevate the decor where it is placed.
A: It’s definitely not a requirement of owning a cat, but you’ll save yourself a lot of time and hassle cleaning up after your four-legged friend by having one of these set right outside the box. Cats are crafty at getting the litter out of the box, even with enclosed litter pans.
A: You should place litter mats directly outside of the litter pan. If the pan is enclosed, the mat should act as a welcome mat placed right outside the access door. Open litter pans present a unique challenge, as the cat may enter, exit, or kick out litter on any side. For open litter pans, you may place the pan against a wall to force your feline to enter from one designated area.
