Rather than having to dig, scoop, and otherwise mess around with random folds and wrinkles that pop out in my cat box's liners because they are bag-shaped (or, perhaps more accurately, prisms) rather than litter-pan shaped, I would think that life would be much simpler if cat pan liners were made to
actually fit cat pans.
Still issued with drawstrings or other tying mechanisms to keep cleanup a cinch (har, har, har).
got cha covered.

You keep your cat in a box ?! Your name isn't Schrodinger by chance ? My cat is strictly free range, so not sure I can identify with the problem -but you're right, it doesn't sound too hard a concept. |
|
|
These are found easily at most every
grocery in my town. Is this a
geographical issue? Do they not have
them elsewhere? |
|
|
They are perfectly square and come in
different sizes. They don't however have
a tie. You must pull the sides up and
make a knot. |
|
|
And I'm sure they aren't widely known
to exist, unless you have a cat, of
coarse ;-) |
|
|
I have never seen these in the stores. All liners here (St. Louis) are simply bags. Basically, they're repackaged hefty sacks. |
|
|
(re: link) No, that's still just a bag. I'm proposing something with a flat, rectangular bottom. That's where my problem arises. |
|
|
I've only ever been able to find ones that are essentially large envelopes, they don't sit well in the bottom of the pan. + |
|
|
Having found the same thing as shapu, I use regular bin liners (the kind with rabbit ear handles, which makes sealing the whole mess up afterwards easy). |
|
|
But yeah, it would be useful if the bags actually fit the litter tray. (Except I use a plastic washing up basin instead for our cat, since that has higher sides than a regular kitty litter tray.) |
|
|
Why the liners? A litter tray is itself a plastic container which can be easily carried to the bin, emptied and rinsed out. Also, the corners don't wrinkle at all. |
|
|
Because it is a nasty job to have to rinse off crusted clay and cat pee from the bottom of the pan. |
|
|
[shapu] I live in a small town and I can get exactly what you are describing at the local Winn-Dixie. It fits exactly into the bottom of a standard cat pan. The the bag is flat-bottomed and square-sided, and is designed to fit just over the lip of the pan. It has a drawstring. |
|
|
Really? Winn-dixie? What brand be this thing? |
|
|
I'm not sure, I'll try to find it. It has a badly-drawn cartoon cat on the box. |
|
|
Now I just use beer flats (those shallow boxes that are used in stacking cases of canned beer), with a section of newspaper in the bottom. |
|
|
The clay and cp go in the dingle starry, and the box goes in the trash. |
|
|
I want a "Winn-Dixie"...bad! (nomo, that
what I was referring to as well). |
|
|
[blissmiss] No, you don't. It is basically a bottom tier supermarket. |
