BlackHole Litter Mat Blackhole Cat Litter Mat - Extra-Large Size Rectangular 36" X 25" (Dark Gray)

Great product! I’ve had two of them for 6 years and they are still in great shape. The mat arrives in a large flat box and is not folded like other less expensive mats. Worth the cost!

Works great! Just wish it was a little bigger, but that’s bc I’m using it in front of 2 Litter Robots. It is well made and so far doesn’t slide around much like other brands do.

My cat and I love this huge, heavy-duty litter mat. Her large-size litter box fits in the middle of the mat; my cat can approach it from any side and she likes to wipe her paws on it afterwards. No more tracking litter all through the carpet - it falls through the holes to the bottom layer, and it STAYS there! There is no rubbery odor, the leather bottom is great quality and won't harm any floor, and the cloth edges keep it from sliding!The huge size makes it a bit tricky to clean; dry litter can be poured out through the side back into the litter box, but the mat isn't exactly flexible and it's hard to shake out. Accidents on the mat can be hard to wipe out the holes, which are smaller than a finger, and it's hard to reach every corner of the inner layer. I prefer to hose it off outside and air dry indoors. (Do NOT leave outside to dry in exposed sunlight - the rubber will start to melt and the holes will start to fuse together! I made that mistake only once.)

There are a handful of similar products out there, but since I can't hide my litter box area in a discreet location, I wanted something that worked as advertised and looked good. I also have an older cat that likes to pick a spot--any spot--to do her business, often a bath or door mat, so this was an expensive venture on the chance it would become her next target. I also have a cat that likes to scratch and claw horizontal things--like carpet. With two drawbacks against it, I bought it and put it down in front of two of the four litter pans configured so they had to walk on the new mat. I wanted to see if it truly caught the tracking. The obvious result was yes because any mat will catch something. Two things thankfully haven't happened: scratching and the business. I also think the semi-soft little nubs wipe their feet a little because the fine dust that settles on everything in my house seems to have lessened as well. Left to itself, I don't know how long it will continue to catch the large pieces. I guess until the thousands of little funnels fill up.However, I immediately discovered a duh factor on the first emptying that the mat I bought is bigger than the pans and a bit cumbersome to maneuver, so it takes a few tries to develop the skill to fold the layers without spilling the litter too soon. I still lose a little, but not like the first time. I'm reminded of one of those flexible cutting boards for the kitchen. It has to be rolled a little more than I expected and I have to be careful not to bump it on the wall or it all comes out. With all that trouble, I would still buy the largest one.I have two litter stations, so I will get a second for the other. However, the second station is in the path to my garage, so I don't know how the mat will do with regular human traffic on the nubs--such as, will they crush over time? What about tripping, sliding, or slipping while carrying things inside? All things to think about, but still a definite plus on the first purchase.

It captures the litter left in their paws perfectly. Otherwise there are little pieces of litter all over the house or it gets into the carpet and cuts it up. This was one of the best products I have bought for me.

I ordered not one, not two but three of these mats but honestly just two would’ve done the job. Can I say that these mats look so nice and are well constructed. They are light weight and HUGE. Ok maybe I’m over exaggerating but these mats are pretty darn big. Now onto the mats performance. I just got these in today (well technically yesterday midnight as I’m writing) and if you’re wondering it took 3 days to get here. My cat hasn’t used it much except once an hour ago and I went to check the results to find that the mat itself trapped all the excess litter with no problem and left my carpet clean. Now I want to add that I believe it truly depends on the type of litter, type of litter box and how your cat does it’s business. I’m cheating a bit since my litter box has a lid AND steps to reduce tracking/spraying litter everywhere whilst digging plus the mats seem to be reducing it even more which is fantastic! I also use Oko cat litter the one with the bigger pieces as it doesn’t get trapped as easily in my cats paws so it helps as well to a certain extent. Before I got these mats the tracking with the “fancy” litter box I have plus the non helpful mats equated to a bit more of a mess with litter than what I see now. I can’t truly say much yet though as after all she’s only used the litter once when I replaced the old mats with these Blackhole ones. I have trust in them and they seem to be worth the money put into them. Don’t hesitate to give it a try. Persephone seems like a happy kitty herself since the mats aren’t harsh to step on. I like how you just lift the mat and “recycle” the litter back in the litter box by opening up the mat a bit (I can’t explain this well but third review picture does) versus shaking the mat out and risking throwing litter all over the place regardless. Save the time and effort of constantly vacuuming to rid of the annoying litter and invest in these.
