I found my best litter, box, liner combo!

It has been two months since my last post on this subject and some of
that text describing the setup is repeated below. I just want to
update that it has been five weeks since I last made a complete litter
change and the box, liner, and litter look like what the old setup did
after a week (I've put in a bit of fresh litter every 1-2 weeks). The
key is that I put the liner on better than the first time at the time
of my initial report and there are absolutely NO seams inside and NO
folds at the front or back to catch any urine. Probably work even
better if I can get a scoop with small openings to catch even the
smallest pieces of used litter.

Anyway, here's the description of the setup:

Tidy Cats Litter Box (see web site) with high back on the bottom and
hinged front on the top for easy access. The high back means unine is
no longer being forced between the seam as it has on other covered
boxes.

Tidy Cats Jumbo Liner which the bottom fits into neatly leaving a
distinct lack of folds to catch urine and prevent it from reaching the
litter, while still being loose enough to allow a trick described
below. A complete replacement of liner and litter is accomplished by
turning the liner inside out as one removes it from the box.

World's Best Cat Litter for its well known attributes.

I can peel clump off the back of the liner by carefully inserting the
scoop between the clump and the liner and flipping it forward in one
piece.

On the somewhat looser front, I can grab the liner where it emerges
from under the top and flip the clump off. You can't do that with the
box, so that's why I like liners.

The key is to find a litterbox liner that is like a trash bag. It fits over
the base of the litter box, top and bottom. When you go to empty it you
turn it inside out, thereby holding all the litter and the clumps IN the
bag. Seal the bag up and put it in the trash.

If you use clumping litter and scoop the pan (liner or no) once a day, there
shouldn't be any urine running around for you to worry about.

I rarely cross post intentionally, though I may end up replying to
cross posted threads. It's just that I only got one response the last
time, so I thought I'd maximize my chances.

As I described further down in my post, that's exactly the type of
liner that the Tidy Cat Liners are, and that's just how I've put them
on the litter box.

Not quite. If you allow any significant amount of urine to collect or
even dry further up the liner, it has this annoying tendancy to collect
any litter thrown up there and over time will start looking nasty.
That's why I was emphasizing the need for a lack of folds and seams,
because the urine absolutely needs to run down into the litter.
