I don't know who is more pleased with this mat, my husband or my cleaning lady. Maybe it's me because I don't  have to listen to them complain any more. We have two cats, one with a condition that causes her to use the kitty litter often during a day. We no longer have kitty litter all over the floor. The mat holds it, and the vacuum cleans the mat. It keeps our house neater and makes a thankless task easier.
