How to choose the best cat mat

Any cat parent knows how easily litter can be tracked from the litter box into your home—especially if your cat likes to dig in his box like he’s looking for hidden treasure. A cat litter mat will help prevent litter from spreading around your home and keep it where it belongs.

So how do you choose the right mat for you and your feline friend? This guide will help you choose the perfect litter box mat for whatever your needs are! Let’s dig in.

Why use a rug?

A litter mat is designed to catch small pieces of cat litter that are tracked out of the box by your cat. It’s basically a doormat for your cat’s litter box! These mats help prevent litter from being spread around your home, keeping your space cleaner and more hygienic by preventing the potential spread of bacteria.

How do you choose a good cat litter mat?

Choosing the best cat litter mat for you and your pet depends on a few factors, such as: What type of litter do you use? Does your cat kick litter or like to drag it off the mat? Does your cat always seem to find ways to get litter between the litter box and the mat? And do you find that your cat creates a mess around the box?

Answering these questions will help you determine which mat best suits your needs to keep your litter where it belongs.

Use this quick list to choose the best rug

In addition to knowing your cat’s litter tracking habits, there are a few other things to consider when it comes to choosing a litter mat that works for you. Quality, price, material, and even urine resistance all matter. Let’s take a deeper look at how to choose the best cat litter mat.

Quality

Look for rugs that are made from high-quality materials. Just like anything else, when you buy cheap items they won't hold up over time and you'll end up having to continually replace your rug... especially if your cat likes to scratch your rugs.

Design

When it comes to a cat litter box, design matters. Having a litter box or fence that integrates directly into the litter box creates a seamless feel, making the litter box less of an eyesore.

Price

While everyone loves a good deal, sacrificing quality for a cheap carpet means that you’ll not only be replacing your carpet more often, but you’ll also likely be dissatisfied with how well the carpet stops the spread of litter. The carpet and mat fall into the perfect balance where price meets durability. You can trust that your carpet will be long-lasting and get the job done.

Materials

The mat is made for heavy messes and is guaranteed to catch litter granules because of its top mesh layer. Litter will easily fall through the mesh to keep the top of the mat clean.

Easy installation

Installation is a breeze and takes just minutes!

Urine resistant

The mat has a urine-repellent mat beneath the mesh layer. The plastic film over the mat makes it easy to clean up after accidents. All you have to do is peel off the top layer, discard the trash, and clean up!
