ABSTRACT:
A liner for a cat box having sides extending upwardly from a bottom to a vertical height. The liner comprises a bag for placement in the cat box. The bag comprises a bottom portion for lining the cat box, and a contiguous top portion. A fluid-impermeable layer is placed within the box, located within the bottom portion of the bag and bonded to the bag. A sorbent layer is placed above the fluid-impermeable layer. A claw-resistant layer is placed above the sorbent layer and affixed to the fluid-impermeable layer so as to stiffen the affixed layers, whereby they tend to stay in place in the cat box. The top portion of the bag drapes over the sides of the box for a drape length and provides ballast for helping the liner to stay in place.
