Catpaper gives 2-surface protection against litter accidents

Franny Syufy
I like Catpaper as a floor and wall protector for the area around my cats' litter boxes. Litter box " tracking mats," such as the rubber and plastic ones sold as accessories, are helpful for preventing tracking litter, but accidental overshots will only make a bigger mess to clean up, when they land on one of these. A pad of Catpaper taped to the wall behind the litter box will also guard against cats who are "high sprayers," like my Jaspurr. It is powerfully absorbent and will prevent urine from running down the wall.
