The best litter matt I have seen/used is available at improvements.com
http://www.improvementscatalog.com/p...ept%5Fid=15120 It has a grid above a tray that traps the litter. Used with a covered litter box it has pretty much eliminated the tracking problem in my house. -- Joe http://www.jwpitt.com/cats.htm Cat Rescue http://www.animalrescuefoundation.com God created the cat so man could have the pleasure of petting the tiger "Scott" wrote in message om... Background: We have two cats, both female. We have two, covered litter boxes. The boxes are side by side and both use by both cats. We clean the litter daily and replace it every couple weeks. We use premium, clumping litter (fresh step). We have two problems: 1. The litter gets tracked across the floor. How can I reduce this? 2. The smell, what can I do to reduce this? We have a air cleaner running next the boxes with a HEPA and Charcoal filter. This seems to help some. The younger cat (7 months) has a habit of not covering her waste. This definitely adds to the problem. It's not too bad but you can definitely smell the boxes in the room. Thanks for the advice. |

Laura Ok, but how much do you consider too much... litter that is? I am also of the more litter camp. Like you, I find that when it sticks to the bottom of the box it breaks up in small crumbs and soils the litter. I use as much as I can without ensuring that my cats kick out huge dunes of litter while covering their mess. |
