Product Information
Full details
The Trixie Place Mat is designed for cat owners looking to keep their feeding areas tidy and spill-free. This durable, non-slip plastic mat effectively catches food crumbs and water drips, protecting your flooring during meal times. While the neutral grey design blends well with most interiors, please note that its 44 × 28 cm size may be too small for large multi-pet water fountains or elevated feeding stations.

FAQs
Is this mat dishwasher safe?
While the plastic is durable, hand-washing with mild soap and water is recommended to preserve the non-slip backing over time.
Can I use this for a dog?
Yes, although it is branded for cats, the mat is suitable for small dogs or puppies who use smaller bowls.
Does the mat have a raised rim?
No, the mat is relatively flat to ensure easy access for cats, though it is effective at catching surface-level crumbs.
Will the mat damage my hardwood floors?
No, the plastic material is safe for wood, tile, and laminate flooring.
Can this be used outdoors?
It is designed for indoor use. Outdoor use may lead to premature weathering or fading of the plastic.
Troubleshooting
The mat slides on my floor.
Ensure both the floor and the underside of the mat are clean and free of dust or debris, which can interfere with the non-slip coating.
Water spots or residue are visible on the mat.
Wipe the surface with a solution of warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap, then dry with a clean towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Trixie Place Mat is straightforward: simply place the mat on a flat floor surface with the textured side facing up. To maintain the mat, wipe it daily with a damp cloth or a pet-safe disinfectant. If it becomes heavily soiled, you can rinse it in the sink with warm water and mild soap; ensure it is completely dry before placing it back on the floor. While the material is robust, avoid using abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the plastic surface.
