Highlighted Reviews

— ashleylaurenn

"Just sits under my cats food and water dishes, but it is large enough to catch any that fall over the sides. That's what I wanted! It is a stand-out color as well, on the white tile, catches your eye. Not much money, does its job."

— Melody

"The Dusty Brown color rubs off, the underneath color is white. After only a few months one side is almost completely white."

Bottom Line

This product is best for cat owners looking for a decorative feeding mat who don't mind potential durability issues.
