Don't your cats' claws put holes in the bags?
Amazingly they don't. They did when I tried those regular litterbox liners but not with the heavy duty garbage bags I get from the hardware store. Lauren You're lucky. Mine shred the liners something awful. I tried garbage bags too, but finally just gave up using liners. It's Bootsie. She claws *everything* to cover up, especiallly the sides of the pan, and even the wall. Sherry |

Booty-girl has little white paws, and she very daintily rakes over every inch of the side of the pan, then starts on the wall. One paw on the edge of the pan; tap, rake, tap, rake with the other. Then she switches paws; tap, rake, tap, rake. She's real meticulous but doesn't cover very well! Yoda, on the other hand, digs his big old polydacyl feet in like a backhoe and slings both litter and sometimes turds out in the floor. |
