Cat Litter Box Mat 40x28 in Gray - Traps Litter and Protects Floors

In this review the GORILLA GRIP 40x28 in cat litter mat is evaluated as a practical solution for indoor cat owners who want less mess around the litter box. The bottom line: it is an effective litter trapping mat that combines thick mesh coils and deep grooves to catch loose litter, while a textured backing helps keep the mat in place. Its water resistant construction also protects floors from liquid accidents, and it is large enough to sit under one or two boxes, making it a simple, low-effort upgrade for cleaner floors.

Key Features

• Original litter trapping design: Thick mesh coils and deep grooves on the topside capture loose litter and keep it contained to the mat instead of your floors.
• Textured anti-slip backing: The backing helps the mat stay in place when a cat exits the box so the mat does not shift and spill collected litter.
• Water resistant construction: Durable water resistant materials prevent liquids from passing through, protecting floors and reducing cleanup after accidents.
• Easy to clean and recycle litter: Collected litter can be tipped back into the box, vacuumed, or shaken out, with deeper cleaning using mild soap and water and air drying.
• Soft on paws: Although durable, the mat is gentle enough for sensitive paws and can double as a resting spot for a napping cat.

Who It's For

This mat is best for owners of indoor cats who want to reduce scattered litter and protect flooring from moisture and scratching. Its 40x28 in size is well suited to households that keep one larger litter box or two smaller boxes side by side and need a broad capture area.

It may be less ideal for people who expect perfect, 100 percent elimination of tracked litter; some users still report occasional scatter depending on cat behavior and litter type. Also, if you need a mat that rolls up for very compact storage, bulkier mesh coils mean it is best stored flat.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effectively traps and contains a large amount of loose litter with its mesh coils and grooves.
• Stays in place during use thanks to the textured backing, reducing spillover as cats exit the box.
• Water resistant surface protects floors from liquid messes and makes surface cleaning easy.
• Large 40x28 in size covers wide areas and can accommodate multiple boxes.

Cons

• While many users find it cuts tracking dramatically, a few report some litter still escapes depending on their cat and litter type.
