Has any one got one of these Rubber Litter Mats? and are they any good?
I am getting fed up treading on litter with bear feet when i go to the loo at night.

I don't have that one but have one similar. I find it does make a difference but certainly doesn't eliminate tracking. It's also only useful if you have a covered tray as if it's open they'll step out anywhere they fancy!
I know Mark finds them annoying because the grains get stuck in the ridges but I find if you use the vacuum without the head on it and run it firmly over the ridges it releases the grains to be sucked up ;)

I agree with dancer. I have a similar one for the covered tray and a lot of litter does stay on the mat. Still get loads elsewhere but it helps.

i do have a covered litter box, well as long as it reduce some of litter going all over the place. it even gets in my bed! only like one or two grains every now and again.

Yes I do :evillaugh:
One went out with the rubbish on Monday. I have replaced it with a £3 regular mat from Tesco that is much better :) :)
-
regular mat? do you mean a door mat? which kind?
-
Do you mean the sort with bobbles, Mark? I considered getting one of them.

Just a simple mat with a rubber backing. I think it was about £3 - it doesn't catch everything, but most of it. It is a lot easier to clean up with a dustpan & brush that the other thing.
