FAQs
What material is the mat made from?
The mat is made from safe and non-toxic raw materials, including rubber, and is BPA-free.
How do I clean the mat?
You can easily clean the mat by shaking out caught litter, vacuuming it, washing it with water and mild soap, or wiping it with a wet paper towel.
What are the dimensions of the mat?
The mat measures 41 x 32cm (16 x 12.6 inches).
Is this mat suitable for kittens?
Yes, this litter catcher is suitable for both adult cats and kittens.
Does the non-slip backing work on all floor types?
The non-slip backing is designed to provide stability on most common household floor surfaces. For best results, ensure the floor is clean and dry.
Can I place the mat anywhere, or does it need to be by the litter box?
While it's most effective when placed directly in front of the litter box to catch litter, it can also be placed in other areas your cat frequently passes with potentially dirty paws.
How often should I clean the mat?
You can shake off litter daily as needed and perform a more thorough cleaning (vacuuming or washing) weekly or whenever it appears dirty.
Troubleshooting
Mat is not staying in place
Ensure the floor beneath the mat is clean and dry. Verify that the non-slip backing is facing the floor. If the mat is old, the non-slip properties may have diminished.
Litter is still scattering widely
Confirm the mat is positioned directly in front of the litter box exit. Ensure the mat is large enough to cover the primary exit path. Consider using a different type of litter that clumps better or is less prone to tracking.
Mat retains odor
Wash the mat regularly with water and mild soap. Ensure it dries completely after washing to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to odors.
Cat avoids walking on the mat
Some cats may be initially hesitant. Try placing a familiar toy or treat on the mat to encourage positive association. Ensure the mat is clean and free of any strong chemical smells.
