A cat litter mat is ideal for anyone who has a cat as a pet. A litter box has its pros and cons. One of those cons is that your cat always has litter under its paws when it comes out of the litter box. Soon you'll find these granules all over the house. Constantly vacuuming? That's certainly not something anyone looks forward to! At Pets Gifts, we have the solution to your problem, namely a beautiful assortment of litter mats.
Cat litter and paw prints throughout the house
Many cat owners complain about the problem of paw prints throughout the house. With a good litter mat, you can solve this problem to a large extent. Cats like to dig
to hide their waste. They do this in the litter box, causing the litter to stick between their toes and spread throughout the house. With clay pellets, you also see that it leaves a white layer on the paws. Later, you'll see white paw prints on the floor. By placing a litter mat in front of the litter box, you can alleviate this annoyance to a large extent.
What makes a litter mat so special?
Perhaps you've tried to just put a mat in front of your litter box? Then you've probably also discovered that this makes little difference. The litter granules still roam around the house. Why would that be different with a litter mat? It's definitely different because this mat is specially designed for cat paws, which litter sticks to. A great example from the Pets Gifts range is the Trixie Litter Tray Mat. This litter mat consists of a double layer. The top is both soft and structured, allowing it to capture the litter. This remains trapped in the double mat. Open the hook-and-loop fastening and easily shake the granules out.
Various types of mats for the litter box
When ordering a litter box online here, it's worth the small additional investment to also buy a special litter mat. This way, you won't encounter litter throughout your entire house, but only on the mat in front of the litter box. All mats in our range are designed to make litter stick to them easily. Make sure the mat is large enough. Sometimes, cats that aren't used to the mat tend to jump over it or walk around it. The Trixie Jumbo litter box mat, for example, is extra large and made of PVC. This is a heavy mat that stays in place well in front of the litter box. Additionally, its subtle anthracite color looks good in any interior.
What else can you do against stray cat litter?
A litter mat will immediately reduce the problem of stray litter granules. However, there's more you can do. Pay attention, for example, to where you place the litter box. If the box is in the middle of the room, the granules are immediately visible. Is it possible, for example, to place the litter box in a utility room or hallway so that your cat doesn't bring the granules into the living space immediately? Furthermore, there's also a lot of difference between the types of cat litter. Some types of litter cause more problems than others. At Pets Gifts, we can advise you on this. Below, we'll give you some tips.
What type of cat litter should I buy?
By combining a good litter mat with the right cat litter, you can significantly reduce white paw prints and cat litter throughout your house. Always opt for high-quality cat litter. A good example is Pure White Sensitive Pacific Breeze. Although these are ultra-fine cat litter granules, they will hardly leave white paws and granules in your house. That's because it clumps very well and is virtually dust-free. If you have a long-haired cat, where litter sticks even faster to its paws, use heavier pellets as cat litter in combination with a litter mat. These pellets stick less easily to the paws and fur due to their weight.
