Oh, Johanna, I wasn't implying you were doing anything wrong. I was just asking for opinions
I rarely scoop unless there are some ripe ones in there that make my eyes water. And Kylie does pretty good at not scratching the liners. She only has her back claws.
I think liners are a personal preference, just like the kind of litter you might use.
I was just interested in who used liners. Didn't want to imply anything. I think everyone are EXCELLANT kitty parents.
