Cat Litter Trapper is on the first position of the best cat litter mats. This unit features a multi-layer litter mat that helps you to keep the cat litter contained in the mat, avoiding litter tracking that spreads all over the house.

The Cat Litter Trapper mat is made from EVA foam and the edges are made from nylon mesh. At the bottom, the mat features a thin polymer film that gives this litter mat its waterproofs characteristic. These materials are safe and usually used in several household products.

The Cat Litter Trapper catches the litter from the cat’s paws falling through holes on the surface which go onto the inner bottom. This litter mat is sewn only on one side, leaving the 3 sides opened for easy cleaning.

This mat comes in two sizes: Small/Medium, (23″ x 21″ – 7/16″ thick) and Extra Large, (30” L x 23” W x 0.8″ thick). This particular Cat Litter Trapper Mat review is for the “Jumbo” Extra Large size.

  • Double layer keep litter away from cat paws

  • Openings on the surface are 20% larger than other mats.
  • Honeycomb shaped openings specially designed to allow more litter through
  • Soft and smooth surface easy on the cat’s paws
  • Product made in the USA
  • Colors: Black and Brown

WHAT ARE THE PROS & CONS OF CAT LITTER TRAPPER?

If you want to know all about this litter mat, including the good and the bad, check the following list of pros and cons that will help you to decide exactly if this is the litter mat your cat needs:

PROS

  • Thick and durable
  • Lightweight easy to carry
  • It reduces most of the litter tracking
  • All the litter stays at the bottom of the mat, away of your view
  • Soft surface allows cats with sensitive paws to walk without hesitation
  • Open on 3 sides makes it easier to dump and clean
  • Flexible enough to dump the litter back into the litter box
  • It prevents from a re-tracking litter from your cat’s paws or from your own shoes. All the litter stays at the bottom
  • Good size
  • It allows you to place a Puppy Pad to prevent liquid from going onto the bottom
  • With waterproof plastic lining on the bottom of the mat (not suitable for cats that pee a lot though)

CONS

  • Price is not low
  • Not very much variety of colors
  • Lightweight and without anti-skid bottom makes it slide around on non-carpet floors
  • You need to be careful when folding the mat to dump the litter inside, because litter could fall from sides, making a mess.
  • Not good for cats that pee a lot on the mat, urine gets onto the nylon border and it’ll stink
  • Can’t be wash in washing machine because it’s stiff

TIPS

  • Make sure that the edges of the litter mat don’t get in contact with cat urine. This usually happens if your cat urinates a lot so the outside border absorbs the excess of urine.
  • Before placing this litter mat vacuum the whole house to make sure it won’t be litter re-tracking onto the litter mat.
  • This Jumbo size is suitable for cats that jump to exit the litter box and for messy cats
  • Be careful when dumping the litter from the mat. Since the mat is stiff and open on 3 sides, it’s easy to spill litter from the opened sides. A good tip is to cover the mat with a big trash bag, shake the mat and dump the litter from the bag into the litter box.
  • Make sure to dry the mat very well after washing it.
  • Place the Cat Litter Trapper in a way that your cat doesn’t have any chance but walk through the mat.
  • Put a portion of the mat under the litter box to avoid slides.

CONCLUSION

Cat Litter Trapper is a good quality and durable litter mat that works as advertised in the sense that it reduces the litter tracking considerably. If you have a litter box big time jumper, let’s say 6′ out of the box or more, you will need to place two mats to make sure you won’t get litter everywhere.

The Litter Trapper is also good to use with automatic self-cleaning litter boxes, such as the Litter Robot, CatGenie, ScoopFree (on carpeted floors).

This unit is not really recommended for cats that urinate a lot on the litter mat. The waterproof feature on the bottom is designed to hold urine until you can take care of it immediately and not let it sit there otherwise the urinate will get on the edges causing a bad smell on the entire mat.

BOTTOM LINE

√ Cat Litter Trapper mat is worth the money if:

  • You have a cat that doesn’t urinate on the mat
  • Your cat exits the litter box normally (not Olympic long jumps)
  • You have a carpeted floor. Get the Litter Trapper in Amazon ▶ here
