Litter Accessories FAQs

What are litter liners, and should I use them?

Litter liners are plastic bags that are designed to line the bottom of your cat's litter box to make cleaning easier. They help prevent urine from soaking into the litter and sticking to the bottom of the box. When it's time to clean the litter box, you can simply lift out the liner and dispose of it, making the process quick and hassle-free.

What is a litter mat, and how does it work?

A litter mat is a mat that is placed under your cat's litter box to catch any litter that gets kicked out when your cat is using the box. Litter mats come in a variety of materials, such as rubber, foam, or mesh, and are designed to trap litter in their grooves or holes. This helps keep your floors clean and makes litter box cleaning less of a chore.

Can I use regular trash bags as litter box liners?

While it's possible to use regular trash bags as litter box liners, it's not recommended. Regular trash bags are not designed to handle the moisture and weight of cat litter and are more likely to tear or leak. Litter box liners are specifically designed to be more durable and leak-proof.

What is a litter box deodorizer, and how does it work?

A litter box deodorizer is a product that is added to your cat's litter box to help control odours. They come in different forms, such as powders, sprays, and pellets, and are typically made with natural ingredients that absorb moisture and neutralize odours. Some deodorizers also have added fragrances to leave your litter box smelling fresh.

Can I use baking soda to deodorize my cat's litter box?

Yes, baking soda is a safe and effective way to help control odours in your cat's litter box. Simply sprinkle a layer of baking soda on top of the litter, and mix it in lightly. Baking soda helps absorb moisture and neutralize odours and is a natural alternative to commercial litter box deodorizers.

What is a litter box scoop, and how do I use it?

A litter box scoop is a tool that is used to remove clumps of waste from your cat's litter box. It's typically made of plastic or metal and has a long handle and a mesh or slotted scoop at the end. To use it, simply scoop out any solid waste and clumps of urine-soaked litter, and dispose of them in the trash.
