Petmate Catcher Mat

At first I liked this mat but as time went on I realized how much I dislike it. We use wheat cat litter. It is impossible to get all of the litter out of this mat and it has started to fall apart. We have a different mat that has held up a lot better and is a million times easier to clean. It's one that you can just open up from one side and dump our whatever the mat has caught. We unfortunately have a cat that likes to poop/pee right outside of the litter box, it's due to territorial issues. This mat is impossible to clean properly when she has an accident on it. I really wanted to like this mat but it's just not a good fit for us

Having high hopes that this would be the solution to my constantly sweeping and vacuuming litter throughout our house, I decided to try one and go from there. We have 3 cats, two of them are males, and 3 litter boxes. This does contain the litter that is immediately around the litter box, and keeps it from scattering further. However, it has only minimally reduced the amount of litter I see tracked into the other areas of the house. We have lots of hardwood floors so it continues to be a problem. It, however, has provided a small space around one litter box that holds whatever litter they toss out when in the box. It does not appear to trap any of the litter that might be stuck on their Having high hopes that this would be the solution to my constantly sweeping and vacuuming litter throughout our house, I decided to try one and go from there.

Ok product. I anticipate it will be easy to clean and it is easy to sweep and vacuum. … more

I just adopted a third cat and added another litter box to the home. It didn't matter how much I swept or vacuumed; I just couldn't keep the hardwood floor under the new litter box clean! The litter granules were getting tracked all over the apartment. I bought this mat because it was the closest thing I could find to the Easyology mats that I bought years ago, which I use underneath the three other litter boxes. The litter tends to get trapped in the fibers so it's hard to get the litter granules out with a vacuum, but I take it outside every few weeks and smack it around to knock the litter out. I'm not sure how else to clean it. My other mats of the same style have lasted me about four years I just adopted a third cat and added another litter box to the home.

This mat was useless. It collects all the litter just fine but to get the litter out of the mat is impossible. The litter goes everywhere. Then my cats started shredding the mat. Not sure why. They never did that to any other litter mats. I finally just threw it out.

I have multiple cats and we use a storage bin for a litter box. I needed a large mate to place in front to catch the litter. This mate doesn’t the job! I no longer feel litter on the floor from tracking. I like that the mate is big enough to catch the litter as the cats walk away. The design is cute with paw prints in each corner. I would definitely recommend this mat.

While it’s well made, it’s more of a yoga mat than a protection mat for a cat litter box. Our space is just too small. I will probably try cutting and repurpose it.

I've shared my life with cats my entire adult life. Somehow, I managed to reach "elderly" status without ever owning one of these wonderful litter mats! I guess I figured daily sweeping or vacuuming was inevitable when one maintained multiple litter boxes. (Currently 4 cats, 5 litter boxes.) But guess what? I'm a changed woman! What a huge difference these mats make in terms of my daily chores! Not only do they very effectively trap most of the litter scatter, but they're easy to vacuum. BIG time-saver for me, and my kitties are very comfortable with them as well. No avoidance issues. Highly recommended!

this mat is the perfect size for my massive litter box for my two kittens, but there is still a lot of litter tracked throughout my living room. it catches some of it, but i still find litter scattered around the mat, on my couch, etc. wish i could find one in this size that had better trapping abilities :(

Keeps litter in its place, not all over the floor. My kitty used to track litter half way thru the house, not anymore. This is an awesome produce, I highly recommend

Catches the loose litter on my cat's paws as she exits the littler box. Saves a lot of clean-up
