We don't have any pets of our own and I'm having the pleasure of keeping my 2 grandcats for a couple of weeks.
When Max does his business, he loves to dig deep into the litter box and sometimes the urine sticks to the side and bottom of the box. When trying to remove it, no matter how hard I bang the box on the floor, it does not turn loose. If I try to scoop it out, the wet litter sticks to the scoop and makes a big mess.
This morning I came up with the idea of using the sharp top of the cat food can to lift it up. I put some duct tape around the part I hold so I won't cut myself. It worked great.
Although the litter is deep, I'll add a little more to it and that should also help.

This is what has been happening and the cat food can is a great help in getting it removed in one whole piece. We have to go to town today, so we will be picking up more cat litter to add to what's in the box.
I use 1/4" hardware cloth place over a pail. I then slowly dump the litter into the pail. The wire catches the wet clumps and poop which gets dumped into another container. Whatever sticks to the bottom is loosened by lightly banging the pan on the edge of the tub.
Hello --
I'm interested in the Ultrasorb litter alternative you mention, but can't find it at Amazon or even through a Google search. Could you please point me to more info about it?
Thanks,
Nica
Leaving the pull top on the lid works even better when handling it. I still put some duct tape around the top part so I won't cut myself on the sharp edge.
Good idea. After washing box, I spray with generic pam too.
I use litter box plastic liners! Have not found a trash bag that fits! So when time to change I just remove the liner and tie it up! This should work for you!!!
I use litter box liners . This should solve your problem plus when it is time to totally change the litter u just lift the plastic liner up and tie it abd dispose . No messy clean up! I wish I could find a trash bag that was the size needed.
I used to just add a layer of baking soda to the litter pan before I added litter; that took care of the bottom. I had a metal scoop for everything else.
Having only one cat makes my litter-issues easy to handle. I put a layer of folder newspaper in the bottom of my litter pan. Then, I add about a soup-can size amount of litter-that's all! After a cat-poop appears, I dump the whole thing in a garbage-bag lined, covered container, outside (on my balcony, since I live in a second floor apt.).
Having no cats will solve my litter issue. Love my grandcats but will be glad to see them go home. I love to see them coming but seeing them leaving is even better. After two weeks, I've had enough loving to last me a while.
I use a "Litter Locker" disposal system. Easy and very affordable. I was reluctant to get a cat until I heard of Litter Locker".
