Why it matters
Garoopion's mat is silicone rather than EVA foam, so it doesn't tear or crumble with scratching and washes easily. At 40 x 28 in it covers a wide exit area.
Silicone ridges catch litter on the surface rather than in a lower layer.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Multi-cat homes
- Long-lasting mats
- Easy washing
Look elsewhere if
- Owners who want the box hidden
- Cats that pee outside the box (see odor control)
- Rooms where a mat can't lie flat
Pros and cons
Pros
- Silicone lasts
- Extra large
- Easy to wash
Cons
- Surface trapping only
- Heavier
- Silicone attracts hair
Limitations to weigh
- Size the mat to cover the floor where your cat steps out of the box, usually the front and one side.
- Shake trapped litter back into the box daily; a full mat stops trapping.
- Wash or rinse the mat weekly.
