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.

Do you mean the sort with bobbles, Mark? I considered getting one of them.

I know Mark finds them annoying because the grains get stuck in the ridges

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  :) :)

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 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 ;)

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.
