   Ahhh, yes, tonight is trash night again here in San Antonio ;-) And I am once again dealing with the question ~ to line again or not to line.... Do you use the plastic litter box liners for your litter boxes? Opinions?? Comments??

   I tried using them but the kitties kept chewing them up. This was a long time ago when I had only Sebastian and Mavvy, so I haven't tried them again. Somebody else may have had a great experience with them.

   Nope don't use them. My babies dig to china to use the potty and tore them so sorta the point for them was no longer useable. If it has to do with a quick and easy kitty box clean up I just suggest a plastic bag and dump them wash. Much mor ehtne just tying up and replacing to be sure. But if the claw the liner you still have to do the complete job and waste money in the long run!

   I didn't know any different and have them. They work OK. Yes, mine scratch through them, but the cleanup is still less, I believe, than if there were no liners. I think it's an individual preference. I change the litter completely every couple of months. As it disappears, I add more.... and then do the complete change out every couple months.

   This is good feedback, thanks! I have gone thru stages of 'lining and then not lining'... yes, they put little claw holes in the liners, but, isn't it better/safer for the garbage collectors to have the litter 'double bagged'?

   I don't double bag what I scoop out of the box. Yikes ! I'd go through plastic bags like crazy.

   As I empty my plastic grocery bags, I double them and store them near the litter boxes so they are doubled and ready whenever I need to scoop (usually several times daily) ;-) I have almost the length of one of my tub/showers lined with 'doubled' plastic grocery bags on hangers, just for cleaning the litter boxes ~

   What is the issue with single bagging the litter? I'd not heard this before. Yep, those are the bags I use as well....

   2P, I double bag because some of the plastic grocery bags have little holes in the bottom, so, I try to double them so they won't 'leak/drip' the litter I scoop from the boxes.... When I change the box completely, I "double bag" so there isn't a "kitty litter explosion" when the trash cans are emptied by the trash collectors.... perhaps I'm obsessive ~ ya think????

    I use the grocery bags, too - but I triple bag. The grocery bags we get around here have holes in the bottom that kitty poo can fall right through. Which is icky. Especially when you don't realize you dropped it on the way to the trash and you step in it on the way back. Yuck. yuck. yuck.

    In a word.... NO!..... I don't line, but am religious about changing boxes frequently!.... I first pour the dirty litter in a brown grocery bag, and then put that in a plastic bag, then in the trash.. I've never had one broken yet!.....

    LOL!!!! When I saw the title of this thread, I knew.... "It's Kittymom!!!"

    As I was scooping the litter today I actually did wonder about the value of liners. They have all those nooks and crannies where clumps get caught. It makes me wonder if the litter box smells clean to my girls. But we do still line.
