February 16, 2014 at 2:12 pmI put a few newspapers in the bottom of the litterboxes then top with scoopable litter. I find that all my cats pee in the corner, and scoopable isn’t *that* great at becoming solid when wet. The newspaper soaks up the liquid into the very bottom of the litterbox, keeping the litter loose & clean, PLUS it makes it a lot easier when I want to clean the box itself, the litter dries to the paper, not the box itself!
