You know that you have found a good litter mat when your cat actually uses it, because if he does not.. then what is the point?

Your cat loves to dig and dig until the every last bit of his litter is almost on the outside of the box. Just where is he heading anyway?

The litter eventually gets tracked all over you floor and carpet and who else knows where... and it is even worse with the fine types of litter.

Since you like to try and keep the house clean and tidy you get out the old mop, broom or vacuum to clean up his scattered litter, only to find he has dug out some more litter after a few hours.

Our feline friends just naturally dig and cover up their excrement... some with more zeal than others.

The solution to the problem is to get a cat litter mat, but not just any old cheap mat, a mat that your cat will actually use.

Their are plenty of fancy mats out there. What you need to concern yourself with is texture. Their are mainly 2 types. Textured (projections or bumps) and non-textured (soft).

The other is just like a regular mat that you would step on yourself with your bare feet comfortably. The types of mats that you need to be a little cautious of are the ones with the small raised bumps and ridges on them.

There are some felines, that will not like stepping on those mats with texture.

If it feels funny to you then guess what? Your picky cat will have none of that!

Remember that your cat has sensitive paw pads (a lot like your feet). If he does not like the way the new mat feels he may just decide to jump over it. Your house will still have litter scattered all over the place as well.

Oh joy for you.

This is not exactly what you had in mind when you purchased the mat did you? Luckily, not all cats are picky like this and will use the mat without problems. Hopefully your cat is one of those felines that does not care.

So, if your home is still looking like beach front property... your little kitty may be jumping over the mat to avoid walking on it.

Try and switch to a softer litter mat to see if this does the trick, you might be surprised to find out that kitty likes the softer mat better!
