I use liners in my boxes and I do't use scoopable litter. What liner would I use and will it stay in place with the cats scratching ect?

You have to choose. Purchase this pan and use scoopable litter which doesn't require liners. If you want to use liners/clay litter, purchase a different kind of pan.

Sorry but we do not use liners but I am sure a medium size trash can liner might work, providing the cat(s) are declawed.

I've been using this box for some time now with 3 cats, 2 under a year and 1 older, all about average size. Haven't tried a liner but it does a good job of containing the litter. It seems the liner could be held in place at least partially by the top which is pretty secure with 4 good size snaps. Aligning the top can be a little tricky at first but easy to figure out. Hope this helps!

Be glad you don't have a large cat trying to use normal litter boxes. Instead, try looking for other plastic storage boxes like sweater boxes or storage boxes for under beds. Any plastic container that will hold litter and be big enough for your cat will work as a litter box, it does not have to be labeled as such.

I'm wondering this as well - we have a cat that will not use a litter box but will use puppy pads.... thinking of trying one of these. Anybody try this yet?

They're actually a pretty great idea, unless you have cats (like mine) who like to dig, and dig, and dig, until they get to the bottom of the box! I think for most people it would be fine. The idea is that you can easily replace old litter by lifting out the liner. You'll know if the liners will work for you, if you don't have to scrape the bottom of the box to remove stuck on pee! If you do, you'll find that the pee disintegrates the liner.

Well this is the exact reason we have our cat in them!! Just make sure they are on the small side rather than the the large size so it fits snugly. I believe it catches it and or prevents him from wanting to do it. You just can't take the chance and let him walk around without it. You have to remember to take it off and let him use the litter box then put them back on. We keep the litter box in the basement. But he STILL sprays a piece of cardboard when he is in the basement :(:(. But at least it's not all over the house.

The litter box is made of a hard plastic (not bendable like a Rubbermaid bin). It is not really porous so there is not an odor problem after I wash it out, and no, it won't warp. I wash my litter box weekly, because my two cats have always destroyed liners with their scratching, no matter what type of liner. The liner is like a coated cardboard and it fits nicely in the box, plus there are markings to show how far to fill the litter. If you are able to use liners normally, the you should be able to use them without a problem.

I have tried various litters and what works best is crystal litter. In fact, the manufacturer recommends Fresh Step Crystal litter and that has turned out to be the best. Some of hte other crystal brands are larger and the rake gets stuck on them. I haven't had good luck with clumping litters in this machine.

You can use the Petsafe simply clean cotinuous - clean litter box we had two of them . We like it I think you will too. Andrea it will help you out it and your cat will like it too.

You will have to use clumping cat litter. I have used brands Tidy Cat and Fresh Step.

This is a GIANT litter box. I am not aware of a liner big enough for it because the sides are so tall. You might have to go with garbage bags. I use a "litter shovel" that only picks up the used bits and dump them in a plastic grocery bag or the kind on a roll that dog walkers use. They are small, inexpensive, and good bags don't let the odor come through.

I use the clumping saw dust type litter, it is more expensive but it is so much lighter when buying in the store or putting in the litter box. I have two cats and two boxes one inside one outside and they use them both with no problem. Also with this litter box there is very little tracking of litter.

You can use either clumping or non- clumping. I was very disappointed in the box; it's made cheap. The fasteners came loose and spilled the litter. I stopped using it after a couple of days. As a new cat owner, I have been disappointed in the choice of available litter boxes. None of them do anything. What I hate most is having to get down on my knees to service them. Cats are jumpers so there is no reason a litter box has to be so low. I use clumping litter and have to take a putty knife to scrape it off the sides. I have been so disappointed in the available boxes that I have spent the last three months inventing a Litter Console that takes care of most of the problems we all hate. Mine is 90% finished; you push a few levers, and it does the cleaning. Anyone who hates servicing a dirty litter box will love it. I expect to have to mine finished in the next few weeks. It is not made of plastic and looks like a piece of furniture. If you want to check back with me, I will let you know when it is ready.

For this style of litter box, I couldn't get the liner to stay put against the box. It cleans out great without a liner.

Any clumping litter is good. I use Fresh Step. My cat did not like Arm and Hammer and Scop Away. He is rather fussy. I used both of those at one time or another and they served the clumping well. He just prefers Fresh Step. One thing i have learned with the Littermaid. Be sure the one you have has a litter bed appropriate for the size of your cat or you will have trouble with the litter clumping because the cat will be constantly urinating on the same wet area and it will not clump if he has no space to scratch and cover which is their natural instinct. I just realized that since I downgraded to a cheaper version of littermaid box and caught him not fitting in the box as he should. He puts is front paws on the back of the box in order to fit. As soon as I get enough money saved I am going to get him the $129 version that he originally had. I would checkl to see if your cat fits in the litter box comfortably so that he can scratch the litter when he is done and help the clumping process along.

This is a common problem --even more so the older the cat gets. The fresh news will also be a issue with this. What I do recommend is called Great Choice Litter mat. I have used this with 6 cats and 99% of litter stays on the mat which is easily picked up and shake back into box. Easy on their feet and easy to wash also. Don't see on amazon--got mine at petsmart. I also use fresh step multi cat CLUMPING litter which my vet recommended so the combination of fresh step and Great Choice mat really helped us....... Hope that helps ya........
