The Best Cat Litter Mats

This double layer honeycomb design allows the cat litter to fall through into the ‘pocket’ and easily poured back into the litter box or thrown into the trash with the rest of the litter. 

A soft EVA material is good for any cat paws, and the double-layered honeycomb traps more litter than other mats that may just have simple shape cut-outs. It is also waterproof and can be hosed down outside or in the bathtub if any liquids get onto it. One caveat about this mat is that since it is sewn on three of the sides, if something is particularly stuff in the corners, it may be harder to get out. 

Premium durability is mentioned in the description of this cat litter mat and most reviews agree, though a few have said that their cats have managed to scratch up part of their mat before. Overall, it seems to be a sturdy, easy to clean, and helpful cat litter mat worth trying out for yourself. 

If you’re looking for more of a regular cat litter mat that resembles an entrance rug, this wonderfully designed rug comes in an XL size that should fit under most litter boxes. 

This phthalate free cat litter mat is a good fit for most homes and cat litter box sizes. It’s easy to clean with a quick vacuum or shake outside. It’s not for anyone that is particular about getting 100% of their cat litter cleaned from this mat, as the design and material will lock in some litter. But for the most part, it does its job well. 

Pawkin has a 100% money-back guarantee as well if you’re not satisfied for any reason, so there is no harm in giving this cat litter mat a try if you’re curious.

Another honeycomb washable mat on the list, this one by Caseeto has the additional benefit of handles that allow you to pick it up and dump the cat litter much easier. It is also a thicker material that most reviews have noted is fantastic and durable against their cats’ claws and stains. 

It is made from high elastic EVA materials and is soft with a bit of a spring, much like a yoga mat. It’s gentle on cat paws and good for older cats that may have joint problems and need a softer surface near their litter box. The bottom layer is anti-slip and waterproof, but some owners have stated that if you have a very rambunctious cat, it can still move sometimes.
Overall, a great mat and highly recommended. 

This cutely designed cat litter mat was made to look like a happy cat face, which can be a nice change of pace as far as cat litter mat designs go. A durable rubber that catches and traps stray cat litter, this cat mat from Fresh Pet does what it’s supposed to. If you want to get the whole system as well, they offer a litter box and cleaning set. 

The mat can move around if you have a fast cat or one that likes to play with anything on the floor, so it is worth noting that it can slip around and be moved. It should fit well for most cat litter box sizes and do well at keeping the floors cleaner around your home. 

If you’re looking for a large cat mat that has multiple colours available as well as sizes, the Gorilla Grip XL cat litter mat might be what you’re looking for. The soft rubber is great on cat feet and catches most stray cat litter pellets and gravel that otherwise end up all over your home. 

It does come in multiple sizes from Small to Jumbo, and 16 different colours – there is sure to be a mat that matches your décor and/or your cat’s litter. The deep grooves and mesh capture and trap the litter in and can be easily cleaned by vacuum and shaking it out. It is hand-washable and allowed to be air dried. 

Durability and thickness seem to be great, though a few reviews have said that their cats did manage to tear up the material. 

A foam mat style cat litter mat may be more to your liking and décor around the home, especially if you have a smaller space. This foam cat litter mat is very soft and has grooves to catch any cat litter that ends up outside of the box (or boxes if you have a multiple cat household) and is very easy to clean. 

It comes in a 40” x 25” size, which should be more than enough to use around most cat litter boxes, and it can easily be vacuumed or shaken out for cleaning. It can be washed by hand and left to air dry in case of accidents. Three designs are available, including a black damask print, blue chevron print, and a plain blue colour. 

Durability is fine and it is a soft, thick material that’s soft on cat paws and legs, especially if you have an older cat that may have problems with rougher textures. If you do have rambunctious cats however, this foam material can be torn up – so, just keep an eye on your pet if they have tendencies to tear at rugs or carpets.
