Best cat litter mat reviews

Owning a cat is one of the few things in the world that has added a new outlook to my life. While it is easier than tending to my dog (Harley) since my cat (Lilo) likes her own space, it does become a challenge to manage litter routines for her. Especially when you have to feed infants, complete household chores- ensure the cat doesn’t go to the room which has just been cleaned. From my own experiences, I know how harrowing it can be to run chase your cat and get them to do it on a mat or in a box. This is where litter mats come in. Not only do they make your life easy, they are a stress free way for your cat to feel at home without much interruption too.

Two Main Types of Litter Mats

Most of mats available are either made up of PVC or Rubber. Let’s dig deeper though to get a better understanding.

PVC Mats

The PVC litter mats consist of a dense mesh type network of PVC strands. This mesh holds the litter without letting it slip, and makes it comfortable for your cat to walk on it as well. The litter granules can be gotten rid of later, by shaking it into the trash can or easily vacuuming it. PVC mats are usually cheaper than the rubber ones but require better maintenance.

Rubber Mats

Rubber litter mats are made from a variety of rubber compounds. Most of them usually have two layers with holes in the top layer to let the waste granules pass through and a more solid bottom layer for collection. However, some also come with absorption pads that capture the moisture and rid the mats of the odour. This is great for longevity of the mats as the litter has to be disposed less often as compared to their PVC counterparts.
