Can you use this without the liner, like a traditional unlined litter box?

you dont need no lining, i never use it. just scoop it and wash the box as needed. my short hair cat uses hers and leaves no one piece of litter outside. the long hair cat is a bit messier but still amazingly cleaner around than when i used a traditional box. i love it, it also contains the smell better. just a reminder that i made my box so the original must be as good.

Sure and I think my cats like it better this way as well. Each time I change out the litter, I take the box outside and hose it out good, dry in the sun, and put back together. In this respect, I find it just like any other litter box. However, given its lack of proper handles, be prepared for some uncomfortable cramping of your fingers as you grasp it beneath the top lip. Perhaps the original idea was since you'd use it with a liner, there was no need of proper handles. In my home this would work if the only kitty using Clever Cat was my small female but I have a larger Tom that loves to scratch the heck out of litter boxes and he regularly scratched through liners even when I used heavy, black lawn and leaf bags as liners.

For this style of litter box, I couldn't get the liner to stay put against the box. It cleans out great without a liner.

Yes you can! I don't use a liner simply b/c my kitty refuses to use a liner.

Yes you can. I have had this box for a few months now and have never used a liner. In my experience the liner can get punctured by the cats claws and is a waste of money. I have 7 cats (4 adults and 3 kittens plus I foster for our city shelter.) and 4 litter boxes, 3 of which are the normal covered type. This one is my favorite and I will slowly replace at least two of my other boxes with this one. I will leave one the regular style due to my older cats do not like to crawl inside this one. It does keep the smell down as well as the littler off the floor and is easy to clean (I clean at least 2-3 times a day). Yes you can.

Yes, absolutely! I don't use the liners because my cats shred them, and it's fine.

I don't use the iners. I think they're more trouble than just keeping it cean with dumping litter.

I would recommend using the liners...trying to dump it out and clean it up would be extremely messy

I suppose it could be trimmed down along the inner rim. However, trimming it will result in a less polished look - you may wind up with uneven/frayed edges. If your litter box is a standard size, I would actually advise using a litter mat underneath that is about the size of this one.

Not that I am aware of, but that's not to say they don't have them. I don't use liners because my cats shred them. You could always use a garbage bag and you just pull the outside over the inside. That's what we used to do.

It has a door that has a hinge that opens for the cat, and another hinge that opens up the top to allow cleaning with out removing the entire tip of the box. You can also easily remove the top half with 2 sliding latches. I don't use a liner because I just take it out back and hose / scrub it out. But you can buy standard cat box liners for it if its more convenient or live in a condo / apartment

Yes you can use a liner, that is what I do. I am not sure I understand the second part of the question. The only thing I did was prewash as directed.

You do not need to use a liner if you choose not to, it is waterproof but not "plastic" I love this shower curtain!

Sorry but we do not use liners but I am sure a medium size trash can liner might work, providing the cat(s) are declawed.

I have never thought of a liner i just use the large metal scoop and i have it on a cabinet waist high because of my back and i have 6 cats so i only need one litter box i love it and would recommend to everyone

No, you are not missing something. I couldnt keep the liner in place either. It is too small, and like you said needs a clip or 3 to keep it in place due to the unusual shape of the litter box. I think i used the liner for 2 days and gave up. I found it harder to scoop than without a liner anyway. I decided i would rather wash my litter box out completely every 3 weeks too a month when the litter needed to be changed then deal with the liner twice a day.

You could, but I doubt you'll find it necessary. In the two litters we've used the pads we haven't had one leak.

No liner needed. You can pop it right out. You need to be careful that the top Doesn't tip over due to over filling

I guess you could do that.... It would probably look homemade, but if that doesn't bother you, go for it. I love not having the litter tracked out onto my floor and my cat doesn't mind the different styled container. It's a win-win for me.

Yes, it's vinyl so you won't need a liner. It is not clear, but more opaque. I am very happy with the quality and the owls look great.

No, there is no liner, no feet (just a flat bottom) and wicker on three sides with the back being part wicker and part ventilated cardboard. Hope this helps you. I've had no problems with it at all.

I have owned this litter box for over 6 months and I have NEVER used bag liners. Personally, i think bag liners just get scratched up and do more harm than good. So yes, you can. However, the purpose of bag liners is to keep the litter sanitary and clean - I would definitely be sure to clean the litter often so feces don't stick to the bottom or anything like that. - Heather

I do not use liners with this box. I plan to use this disposable box for just one weekend when we were at a wedding but our cats love it so much I have just let them use it. They have three boxes and prefer the disposable box. Not sure why.
