The Drymate Original Cat Litter Mat contains the mess, and helps to keep your floors clean and dry! The soft paw-friendly material gently loosens litter from cat's paws, which helps to reduce litter tracking throughout your home. Our Patented Drymate material absorbs and contains liquids and wicks away moisture. The waterproof backing stops liquids and urine from soaking through and prevents them from damaging or staining the surface below. The slip-resistant backing helps to keep the mat securely in place and prevents it from sliding around, this keeps the mess on the mat, and not on your floors. Also, it makes it easier to vacuum because the mat stays in place. This mat is easy to clean, machine washable, and durable. Proudly Made in the USA, Phthalate and BPA free, and made from recycled material. Polyester fabric is made from over 50% recycled fiber.
