We all love our pets, but the messes they make? Not so much.

Cats in particular can leave behind a trail of sand as they step outside their litter box, much to their owners' chagrin. If you're looking for a simple way to keep those areas clean, one ultra popular Amazon product can help.

The Pieviev Cat Litter Mat Trapper is designed to catch and trap excess litter that manages to escape its box, making it easy to prevent messes. It's also on sale for just $24 right now, making it an affordable cleaning solution.

This unique double-layered mat is one way to cut down on the amount of sweeping up around your cat's litter box. Made from durable and washable EVA plastic, the mat has an upper honeycomb layer that catches litter as it falls through the holes. You can then dump the excess into the trash, or back into the litter box.

The mat has a waterproof bottom layer to catch any potential spills, and can easily be hosed off to clean between uses. It measures 24 by 30 inches to provide a large surface layer to catch any litter that may get scattered about.

You can shop the mat on sale in two colours (brown and black), which are on sale for $24 instead of the usual $30.

With more than 21,000 five-star reviews from shoppers, it's clear that cat owners have been loving the Pieviev Cat Litter Mat Trapper. It's earned a 4.5-star average rating, with shoppers saying that it "works like a charm."

"Best litter mat ever for multiple cats!" raved one reviewer. They added that it's "heavy enough to stay put" — even through cat play fights.

Another reviewer wrote that thanks to this mat, the litter scattered around their home was "reduced overall by 98%."

One person noted that the mat "works exactly as advertised" and called it the "best purchase ever made for our cat."

In spite of the many rave reviews, reviewers note that there are some drawbacks to this mat. Some shoppers found that the mat arrives with "a strong odour," and recommended letting it air out before use, while others complained that it didn't completely flatten after being unboxed.

For an easy solution to cat litter being tracked around the house, shoppers agree that this mat is "worth a purchase." It does a great job at catching errant kitty litter before it ends up on your floors, and provides a sturdy and easy to clean surface.

Reviewers recommend that if you do add the mat to cart, you'll want to let it sit outside for a few hours to remove any chemical smells. If your mat also won't stay flattened after being opened, they recommend heating it up with a hair dryer to help remove the creases.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weighed in Friday on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn decades-old jurisprudence on abortion, calling what's unfolding south of the border a "horrific" development that threatens the right of women to choose what to do with their own bodies. "My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion. I can't imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now," Trudeau said in a social media post. Trude

"I didn't kill him. I made him." Those are the words wheezed by an ailing Colonel Tom Parker in the opening moments of Elvis, the latest film from the director of Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby. The ambitious biopic follows Elvis from a young boy growing up in Tupelo, Miss., right to the legendary rock star's end. However, while Baz Luhrmann's film bears the name of the man in the leather jumpsuit, the person telling us much of the story is Parker, the larger-than-life manager behind the man.

Premier Blaine Higgs says he didn't tell systemic racism commissioner Manju Varma not to publish her mid-term report. But chiefs from nine Mi'kmaw communities say the commissioner told them the government wasn't prepared to accept her call for an immediate, Indigenous-led public inquiry. Those chiefs withdrew from the process on Monday, alleging political interference in the commissioner's work. A mid-term report from the commissioner recommended an immediate public inquiry that would examine sy

The Supreme Court, in a ruling Friday, ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place for nearly 50 years. The court's conservative majority voted to overturn Roe v. Wade from 1973 and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 decision that reaffirmed the right to abortion. The outcome is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.

MONTREAL — The federal government has said it implemented a system to reduce delays plaguing the downtown Montreal passport office, but those who were waiting in line on Thursday said the situation remained chaotic. Florent Cohen said he had been waiting outside the office since 4 a.m. Tuesday, trying to get a travel document for his four-month-old son. On Thursday morning, it seemed like he would finally get his chance. After inching toward the front of the line and entering the office, he said

Tensions intensified Thursday outside the passport office at Montreal's Guy-Favreau complex when hundreds of travellers who had been lining up for days for travel documents learned the system to process their requests had changed again. Despite the federal government putting into effect a new ticketing system with fixed appointment times in Montreal on Wednesday, Service Canada workers threw passport-seekers for a loop Thursday morning by prioritizing people according to their flight time instea

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un doubled down on his nuclear arms buildup to overwhelm “hostile forces” at a key meeting where military leaders approved unspecified new operational duties for front-line army units. Members of the ruling Workers’ Party’s Central Military Commission decided to supplement an “important military action plan” on the duties of front-line troops and further strengthen the country’s nuclear war deterrent, state media said Friday. North Korea has

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attempted to win over a divided group of Commonwealth leaders in a series of executive and bilateral meetings with his international counterparts. He sat down for meetings with the leaders of Rwanda, Zambia and Antigua and Barbuda, hoping to bring countries onside with Canada's climate goals and its view of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Emergency rooms in northwestern Ontario remain critically short-staffed, and hospital leaders across the region warn the risk of emergency-room closures could continue well into the summer. Three months ago, the emergency room in Red Lake, Ont., closed for 24 hours during a weekend because no physician was available. Officials say a similar situation could happen elsewhere if relief isn't found. "To be frank, if health-care workers across our region did not continue to work hours that are puttin

WASHINGTON (AP) — As if their job weren't hard enough at a time of raging inflation, Chair Jerome Powell and his Federal Reserve colleagues have to do more these days than decide just how much to raise interest rates without triggering a recession. They also have a sales job on their hands: Convincing the public that they will succeed in reducing inflation — now at 8.6%, a four decade high — to the central bank's goal of 2% a year. And on Thursday, Powell told Congress that Americans do seem rea

RENO, Nevada (AP) — Dozens of residents urged commissioners in northern Nevada's largest city on Friday not to certify the results of the June 14 primary, repeating many of the false claims and conspiracy theories that nearly derailed the certification process in New Mexico last week. County commissioners across Nevada were holding public meetings ahead of a midnight deadline to sign off on the results — what has historically been a routine and ministerial task that follows routine checks by loc

OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada says a not-for-profit organization has public interest standing to challenge mental-health law in a B.C. court, even though no individuals are plaintiffs in the case. The court's unanimous decision today comes six years after the Council of Canadians with Disabilities challenged the constitutionality of mental-health legislation in B.C. that allows non-consensual psychiatric care. Two individual co-plaintiffs discontinued their claims, but the council hoped t

One of the two groups pre-qualified to bid on the Halifax Infirmary redevelopment project is pulling out. A spokesperson for the Nova Scotia government confirmed Friday afternoon that officials with EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare provided notice that they intended to withdraw from the tender process. That leaves Plenary PCL Health as the only remaining consortium approved by the former Liberal government to bid on the massive health-care construction project that includes more beds and opera
