The neat thing that can easily help to make your cat litter box easier to maintain is the use of cat litter bags. These bags are actually liners that are placed inside the litter box and litter is placed on top. When the time comes to dump out the litter, it is contained inside the bag. This gives you a convenient way to dispose of the litter and protects the litter box from smelly litter residue. Old litter can get stuck to the sides and bottom of an unlined box and be difficult and unpleasant to clean.
