I just use the pads. I have hardwoods though, so I am not worrying about carpet etc. Its a lot easier if they miss the pad and I also just spray with Lysol to clean and get rid of the smell. We keep ours in the bathroom too...just because I would rather accidents happen on the tile than hardwoods but either way she HATED to litter box we tried at the beginning and is much better just using the pads. |
