If you're finding litter granules across your floors every day, you're not alone — and scooping more often isn't the fix. Litter tracking happens when granules cling to your cat's paws and scatter as they leave the box. Here's what genuinely reduces it.
1. Use a trapping mat (the biggest lever)
A textured mat at the box entrance catches granules off paws before they spread. The most effective design is a honeycomb double-layer mat: the top layer's raised cells catch litter, and a sealed bottom layer stores it until you tip it back into the box.
2. Choose the right litter and fill level
Heavier, larger granules track less. Keep the box about two inches deep — overfilling means more spillover.
3. Place the box thoughtfully
A low-traffic corner with the mat directly in front contains the mess to one spot.
The easiest fix
