HI Sue - I love the liners because it keeps me from having to scrub the boxes all the time. My cats all have their claws - but they seem to be pretty good about not tearing them up too much. Good Luck...(and yes- cat urine is an awful smell - I love cats so very much and can't imagine my life without them walking all over me - but cat urine is one smell that makes me hysterical)...

I will go get some box liners, dump all the litter, wash the boxes with bleach solution and start over with Fresh Step litter. Should I gradually switch them over to the litter(combining a little of it with the kind they are using now first)? And, I will be diligent about the scooping! I have a feeling our son has not been doing all of these things because his house stinks! PEEYU!
