GORILLA GRIP Cat Litter Box Mat 24x17 - Litter Trapper

Our review of the GORILLA GRIP cat litter box mat finds it best suited for indoor cat owners who want an easy way to control tracked litter and protect floors. The mat's single biggest advantage is its thick mesh coils and deep grooves that actually trap litter as cats step off the box, which reduces sweeping and vacuuming. Constructed from durable, water resistant materials with a textured backing to help prevent shifting, this mat is straightforward to clean and is gentle enough for sensitive paws, making it a practical accessory for everyday use.

Key Features

• Original litter trapper: Thick mesh coils on the topside grab and hold litter so less escapes onto floors.
• Deep groove collection: Grooved texture channels and contains mess on the mat, making it easy to tip and pour litter back.
• Textured non-slip backing: The backing helps the mat stay in place even when cats are active, reducing shifting and scattered litter.
• Water resistant construction: Durable materials prevent liquids from passing through and protect floors from spills and scratches.
• Easy to clean: Collected litter can be vacuumed, shaken out, or washed with mild soap and air dried for a deeper clean.
• Soft on paws: The surface remains gentle enough for kittens and sensitive cats while still being durable for regular use.

Who It's For

This mat is ideal for owners of indoor cats who use scoop-style or clumping litters and want a low-effort way to reduce tracked granules around the litter area. It fits well under most box footprints thanks to the 24 x 17 in size, and is a solid choice for households where a water resistant surface and floor protection are priorities.

It may be less suitable for owners who need a very large coverage area beyond 24 x 17 in or for people who prefer mats with raised rims or dual-layer catch systems. If a custom fit or a completely enclosed litter solution is required, consider a different product designed for those specific needs.
