Abstract
A mat intended to be placed in proximity to a litter box so that a pet exiting the litter box will walk over the mat with the result that particles of litter temporarily adhering to the feet of the pet will be dislodged through interaction with the structure of the mat, the dislodged litter particles being collectible in medially disposed channels formed in the mat which facilitate pouring of the particles back into the litter box. The litter mat is structurally configured and formed of a material that facilitates cleaning of the mat.
