What is the best thing to get rid of PEBBLES from my cat's feet after she comes out from cat litter box?

She has cat litters in her paws after she comes out from her litter box. So when she comes out, cat litter is everywhere on the floor. I have been putting like a plastic floor mat and a silicone mat in front of her littler box hoping that it will catch some pebbles out. IS there a better way?

I had the same problem. I got a car floor mat and put it in front of the box. The ridges on the mat catch the loose litter and keep it from getting all over the carpet.
Put a regular rug down for her feet. Most of the litter will fall on to the rug instead of your floor.
Switch to a different brand of litter. If you go to PetSmart, they carry litter that doesn’t track.
Change the litter you are using . I like a litter called yesterdays news, its made from old newspapers thus the name. It does cost more but no more mess from clay litter.
try switching ur litter, i was using fresh step and had this problem, to the point where a bed sheet had to b laid down surrounding the box. it was ridiculous bc they kept getting it everywhere anyway. i switched to tidy cat with the red lid. the box smells better longer too i noticed. good luck!
WHY NOT TRY A CLOSED IN LITTER BOX AND MAYBE GET A DIFFERANT TYPE OF LITTER——GO TOO A PET STORE AND ASK——GOOD LUCK
I can think of several things that will help eliminate most of this problem… first use PLENTY of litter, wet litter will stick to their feet and it generallly gets too wet becasue there isnt enough to drain straight down, if it gets to spread out to where their feet are it will stick th their feet.
Next, I suggest you find a piece of indoor/outdoor carpet and place it under the catbox and overlap it by at least two feet on all four sides so that the cat needs to walk across the rug with all four feet before entering the rest of the house, it is rough enough to help separate the litter from kitty’s feet.
If that isnt enough, try mixing the "nuggets" with the ultra fine ‘SCOOPABLE’ litter; THAT WILL WORK. (might not even need the carpet under the litterbox. )
well what you do is take a rag or something or a mat and put it infront the litter box and so when the cat comes out then it will step on that my cat is smart and my cat wipes his paws on the side of the litterbox and it all gets off his paws
Here is an alternate that some people are using if you don’t mind the extra work.
If you have a paper shreader and alot of old newspapers, try filling the litter box about 3/4 full of shreaded paper, no litter problem and easy to dispose of.
This is usually recommended by vets. for cats that that have cuts, sores or infections on their feet or legs. you can sprinkel some baby powder over the paper for the smell.
