Anyone that owns a cat knows one of the biggest problems is the cat litter.  Aside from the smell, bits of litter stuck to the cat’s paws as it leaves the litter box end up end up all over the floor.  Unless swept up constantly they quickly get tracked everywhere.

I have found that placing an old car floor mat in front of the area the cat uses to exit the box  that 90% of the litter gets trapped in the groves of the mat reducing the need to sweep the floor as often.

Most cats take a while to get used to walking on the mat so at first you will most likely have to block off 3 sides of the litter box with something high so they have to exit to the one side that has the mat in front.  Once they are used to the mat, cutting a grove to make one side of the litter box lower will encourage them to use that side and step on the mat as they exit.
