Cat Mats: Comfort and Cleanliness for Your Feline
Cat mats add comfort, cleanliness, and style to your pet’s living area. These mats work well under litter boxes, food bowls, or as soft resting spots around the home. Many mats help trap litter, food crumbs, or moisture to tidy the floor. Soft textures encourage cats to rest or play on them, reducing mess in other areas. Easy to clean and lightweight, cat mats are helpful for both grooming and everyday routines.
Types of Cat Mats
Litter Trapping Mats
These mats are placed outside the litter box to catch loose litter from your cat’s paws. Many are water-resistant and easy to shake or wash.
Feeding Mats
Feeding mats sit under food and water bowls to catch spills and crumbs. These are often made of rubber or silicone to stay in place. Raised edges prevent liquids from running onto the floor.
Cooling Mats
Cooling mats help regulate body temperature in hot weather. Filled with gel or made from breathable material, they keep cats comfortable. These are often portable and used during travel or summer months.
Resting or Nap Mats
Soft mats are placed in beds, on furniture, or in carriers for added comfort. Some are machine washable and quick-drying.
Grooming Mats
These mats are designed with gentle textures that help with grooming. As cats lie or rub against the surface, loose fur is collected. These mats reduce shedding and can keep your home cleaner.
Price in Bangladesh
Cat mats in Bangladesh range from BDT 200 to BDT 1200, depending on type and material. Basic feeding or litter mats are usually on the lower end of the range. Plush or cooling mats cost more due to extra features. Durable and washable mats may come at a higher price but last longer.
How to Choose the Best Cat Mats
Purpose of the Mat
Select mats based on need—litter control, feeding, comfort, or grooming. A litter mat should trap debris well without sticking to paws. Feeding mats must have grip and waterproof design. Cooling or nap mats are good for rest and relaxation.
Material and Texture
Look for materials that are soft yet durable. Rubber and silicone work well under bowls or boxes. Fleece or plush mats add comfort for sleeping. Textured surfaces help with grooming and litter trapping.
Ease of Cleaning
Pick mats that are easy to wash or wipe clean. Machine-washable or quick-drying mats save time. Mats used for feeding or litter should resist stains and odors. Regular cleaning keeps the area fresh for your cat.
Size and Fit
Choose a size that fits the intended space—under a litter box, feeding area, or in a carrier. Larger mats cover more ground and catch more mess. Smaller mats work well for compact spaces. Measure before buying for a better fit.
Grip and Stability
Non-slip backing keeps mats from moving during use. This helps avoid spills or accidents. Feeding and grooming mats should stay flat on the floor. Stable mats improve safety and comfort.
Durability and Use Frequency
Daily-use mats need strong stitching and quality materials. Check reviews or feel the fabric if possible. Durable mats last longer with less replacement. Consider how often your cat uses the area before choosing.
