I have the rug now for over a month. Visually, it corresponds to the picture ... but that's about it. The "gekrüsselten rubber hairs" that make up the mat, the stones begin to hardly and there are more than beside it. Better experience I have since made a "bubble sheet", which pushes the paw of the cat apart when it occurs, allowing that fall out the stones. In this, however, the cat litter is also distributed in bathroom and apartment. Now it serves as a base for food bowls, so that they no longer slip and I have to say it the rug acts much better.
