I’ve used this as well. The doormat cut down the tracking of cat litter. What’s funny is that you can buy specialized litterbox doormats in the pet section of the store, and they come at a premium price!

How strange. That has not been our experience. Non-white doctors have been more open to listening to us when we talk about symptoms.
