X-Mat Foldable Training Mat, 18-Inch

Okay, here is the deal......this does work. The nubs are not something any pet or person wants to walk on. However, it covers only a small area, so there is nothing to stop your little furry family members from just dropping their presents around it. Once they pick a spot they like to go, they tend to stick to it. I was pretty upset that despite technically working, these were just squares of plastic that likely do not cost much to make. I bought three of them and felt a little jipped. I started thinking, and came-up with a similar concept that works-only it is cheaper and covers a lot more space. I bought a 6ft roll of clear rubber carpet runner for $3.99, and just laid it down upside-down so that the carpet grippers were facing up. Exact same result---cats do not want to step on those uncomfortable nubs. I was able to cut the runner down to the size needed and put it in a couple different places ( with lots to spare), and it actually is less obvious since it is clear. 6 feet instead of 18 inches for 1/3 the price.

I bought these to help with training my cat not to get up on counters or on the chairs by the fireplace and it didn't work. Several times I found her laying on top of them rolling around as if getting a massage. I now use these for kneeling while gardening. They keep your knees clean and airate the ground.

I have 6 dogs, ranging from 13 pounds up to 115 pounds and 3 cats. I tried 2 of these mats for my chairs to see if they would work and ended up buying 18 more. Nobody, but nobody wants to sit on them. The only thing they don't prevent is the cats jumping up on the top of the chairs to lay down. That I can live with. Occassionally the Jack Russell jumps up and tries to lay down but he eventually gives up and lays on the dog beds.

I got five of these originally to keep our kitties off our off-white sofa, not because of fur, but because one of them throws up all over the place. It took only a short period of time for all the kitties to realize that the sofa was no longer comfortable. I didn't even have to leave them on the sofa. Then, we started having problems with stray cats coming to the house and getting our kitties all excited by pawing at the windows of our screened-in porch. I took the X-Mats and placed them so the stray cats couldn't get past them on the stairs leading to the porch. Worked perfectly; our cats no longer go bananas and destroy things because rude strange cats are taunting them.

Very practical training tool, even for strays.

X-Mat Extra Training Mat Foldable, well it does not work as well as i hope, my cat still jumps on the sofa with the mats in place. Our cat will walk on the mat, but it is not comfortable enough for it to sit on (so that is good). The folding feature is useless, the plastic is too hard to fold, not realistic as a everyday folding feature (makes a small package for shipping).Over all it works fine.
