Keeping Litter From Sticking to the Cat Box

RE: Keeping Litter From Sticking to the Cat Box Post by SusannL (44) | (06/10/2006) Profile | Contact I slip a cheap (from dollar store) kitchen garbage bag over the litter box before I fill it with litter. When I dispose of the litter, I turn the bag inside out as I remove it from the litter box, keeping the used litter inside. I used to buy litter pan liners until I realized that they cost a lot more and were unnecessary.

Another thing I do is use the empty litter sacks and feed sacks to store the "used" litter in. I dump a little baking soda in it also, and close the bag and roll it down as far as possible, then when it gets as full as I want, I take it (the whole bag) out. The bags are thick, so the smell doesn't escape until you have it open to dump more in. But I'm gonna try the wax thing- looks like it'd help. Thanks RE: Keeping Litter From Sticking to the Cat Box Post by Kersti (28) | (03/25/2006) Profile | Contact We have two cats.One has diabetes and I sympathize with the lady that describes the amount of digested food coming out of a little cat.This may not work for everyone, but I just use a large plastic garbage bag, put the clean litter box inside the bag and then pour the litter in, you can mix plain baking soda in with the litter to make it last longer and smell better.This cat does not take the time to cover it's art work so sometimes if I can change it right away I use the powder for carpets on the mess and it helps us all deal with the odor.I am not sure of the safety, but it is a good temporary fix.When you are ready to dispose of the litter, you already have the garbage bag in there so that you just have to turn it inside out and throw it away.We use the 33gallon bag, but it would even work better with a slightly larger bag.You may want someone who is stronger to empty it for you, as it does get a little heavy.

RE: Keeping Litter From Sticking to the Cat Box Post by katieandjeffy (82) | (03/17/2006) Contact I am really going to have to try that one! My boxes are the same way ... thank you! Mine also "over shoot" and they all dig to the very bottom of the box and throw litter every where!!! (I'd swear they were diggin' for gold...LOL) I have learned that a cheap fix to this is to get a cardboard box that is bigger than your box...cut it down and leave it high in the back and sides (only a few inches) and lower in the front. That seems to keep a lot of the litter right under it. I used to keep a carpet under the boxes to catch the litter...but they decided that it was better IN the box...so this new box takes care of that and I just pitch them as often as needed and cut new ones.
