Why Litter Tracking Happens
Cats naturally kick up litter when they dig, cover, and jump out of the box. Small granules cling to paws and fur, scattering across your floor. Over time, this creates a dusty trail that requires frequent sweeping or vacuuming. A litter box mat placed at the exit can catch much of that loose material before it spreads.
What the Petmate Litter Catcher Mat Offers
- Petmate Litter Catcher Mat 1/2 Circle: Created from a soft, rubberized material that is easy on a cat's paws. Cats are less likely to avoid the mat if it feels comfortable underfoot, so it stays effective at trapping litter.
Petmate Litter Catcher Mat 1/2 Circle - Petmate Litter Catcher Mat 1/2 Circle: The webbed design traps litter scatter as your cat exits the litter pan. The webbing catches granules that fall off paws, keeping them on the mat instead of the floor.
How the Mat Fits Into Your Cleanup Routine
Place the Petmate Litter Catcher Mat directly in front of the litter box entrance. Its half-circle shape fits neatly without taking up extra floor space. After your cat steps off the mat, any trapped litter stays in the webbing until you shake or vacuum it out. This reduces how often you need to sweep the surrounding area.
The mat is available in one size with a Waterfall color and style option, making it a simple add-on for most standard litter boxes. Because it is made from soft rubberized material, you can rinse it clean or wipe it down as needed.
Limitations to Keep in Mind
No mat stops all litter tracking. Some fine particles may still escape if your cat kicks vigorously or jumps far. The Petmate Litter Catcher Mat focuses on catching scatter as your cat exits, so pairing it with a high-back or covered litter box can further reduce mess. Regular mat cleaning also helps maintain its effectiveness.
