Rug Carpet What is the best kind of carpet/rug to prevent cat litter tracking?
I currently use an old rug that's almost pounded flat. Helps a little bit with the tracking but not much. What kind of rug or carpet should I switch to?
what about something really rough like shag carpets? Seems like hell to clean tho
I do use scoopable litter. The litter gets into the spaces in his paws. Sometimes after he uses the box I lift him up and gently brush off the litter from the paws. He doesn't seem to mind and rather enjoys the attention.
Anything with a bit of fluff or even a slightly rough surface to help remove the litter from their feet as they hop out of the litter box.
In front of one of our litter boxes right now we have one of those plastic mats with some raised plastic bits (cat-specific, from the pet section at Walmart) - it's not very effective, as our cats don't like the feel of it on their paws and usually just jump right over it!

How to clean oriental rugs & carpets
The best way to keep a rug clean is to keep it from getting dirty in the first place. Removing outdoor shoes when entering the house (as people do in most rug-weaving countries) is a good idea if this accords with your lifestyle. Bare-foot or sock-foot traffic is much gentler to a rug than a hard outdoor-shoe sole (or spike heel), and leaving your outdoor shoes at the entrance to the house tracks in much less dirt.
Have your rug cleaned only when it really needs it. For rugs in some areas this will mean a yearly cleaning. Rugs in other areas can go several years and more without needing professional cleaning.
To judge how dirty a rug is, try one of these methods:
Pick up a corner of the rug and while holding it, kick the back of the rug sharply. If a cloud of dirt flies out of the pile, the rug is dirty and needs cleaning. NOTE: some dust and wool fibers are normal!
Kneel down on the rug and rub the pile vigorously with your hand in a short arc for 5 to 10 seconds. Look at your fingers and palm: if your hand is dirty, the rug needs cleaning.
With the pile facing UP fold part of the rug back upon itself so that the pile opens along a line of knots. Look down into the base of the pile at the foundation of the rug. If the warp and weft look dirty, there is dirt deep in the pile where a home vacuum cleaner cannot reach it. The rug needs cleaning.
Clean It Yourself
It's easy to clean small rugs yourself. The process is best done in a utility room or garage (on a clean floor) or outside on a clean driveway or paved walk on a nice, sunny day:
Vacuum both sides well.
Shampoo the rug with cool water and mild liquid soap or rug shampoo (don't use strong detergents, ammonia water or sudsy ammonia water). TEST FOR COLOR RUN IN A SMALL AREA FIRST. Use a soft, long haired brush or a firm, non-shedding sponge. Brush the pile firmly with linear motions in the direction of the nap: don't scrub too vigorously. Wet the nap thoroughly with the soapy water.
Wash fringes with the same soap solution. Use a laundry brush and brush repeatedly away from the pile.
Rinse thoroughly with running water.
Squeeze out excess water--a rubber window squeegee works well. Squeegee the pile repeatedly in the direction of the nap until no more water is forced out.
Lay flat to dry. When the nap feels dry, turn the rug over; the back is probably still damp. DRY THOROUGHLY.
If the pile feels a bit stiff when dry, brush gently or lightly vacuum.
