Clean litter box. Happy cat. We recommend replacing Flip paperboard liners when there are signs of wear and tear to keep bacteria and odor in check. The longevity of the liners depends on how much litter is used, how many cats use the litter box, and how ferociously they scratch. Daily scooping and sustaining the litter level at 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) will maximize the life of the liners.
I’d been using the tarp liner since I got my Flip litterbox, but I thought I would give the paper liners a try. In short, I think they are awesome. The surface of the liner is slippery and the clumps come-off very easily. I love the convenience of just throwing the liner away with the litter when it comes time to do a full change. I have three cats who all use the litterbox and I’ve no issues with scratching through the paper or any wetness seeping through (note: I do trim their nails regularly). I’m thinking of switching my other boxes to the Flip and using the paper liners - they just make everything so much easier!
I’ll definitely be sticking with the paper liners moving forward!
I absolutely love my Modcat liter box (flip top) and I use the silver liners, but I have one cat the tends to scratch and he is causing the liners to have a shorter life than 3 months. I thought I would try using the paper liners, inside the silver, as a way of preserving the bag life. While I appreciate that it’s paper and a cat scratching will cause tears, that isn’t my issue. I try hard to make sure I keep at least 4” of liter in the box, but there are still over saturation issues in parts, not affected by the scratching. I had one liner that disintegrated so fast, the old liner and litter, I had just throw in the outside trash, had not even been picked up by the weekly sanitation run.
They are absolutely solving the issue of extending the life of the silver liners, which was my goal, I guess I was just hoping for at least 3-4 weeks per liner, and I think I average closer to 2-3. I will add that I have 3 cats, and I use natural litter (a combination of corn and walnut) because I don’t want the dogs to eat clay, if they gain access to the cats room. So, I concede heavy use, and non clay, but I clean every day very throughly. If my usage was more typical and one of the cats didn’t scratch a hole, I think these would probably last a lot longer. Thus I am torn in my review.
Not as great as I was expecting. But I do like it. We'll see how it goes with the rest of it.
Hi RoseMarie, we're sorry to hear this! We highly recommend using all-natural clumping litter to get the most out of the paperboard liner. Personally, we like to use Swheat Scoop and World's Best Cat Litter, for example. Scooping daily and using at least 3-4 inches of litter will also greatly help extend the liner's lifespan as well. Please reach out to support@modkat.com if you have any questiosn along the way!
I've had cats my entire life. I love the Modkat flip top litter box for easy cleaning, while still giving my lil guy a sense of privacy and enclosure. As long as you use low-dust litter, this is one of the cleanest and sleekest litter boxes you'll ever own. And the liners are so easy to switch out!
It’s been a long time. Not here yet.
Not happy.
