Today's world is fast paced and demanding. It pulls us from school, to work, to family, pets, adventure, and the list continues. While many of these things enrich and fill our lives with joy, there are also those tasks that don’t necessarily bring us happiness, but are necessary for us to continue doing the things we enjoy. As a family we are pet lovers, and in particular we love our cats. Cats fit our busy lifestyle, entertaining themselves and each other throughout the day while we are working, and spending time with our family in the afternoon and evening. Soon after rescuing our cats we realized that there had to be a better way to clean litter boxes, and thus began our journey to find a better way for litter box sanitation.
We tried the automated litter box and found it hard to monitor our cats urine and bowel movements, as well as it being difficult to sanitize all of the pieces between scooping. It ended up being more of a mess than a help. Next we tried litter box liners already available on the market. These were basically plastic bags that went into the litter box, only to be instantly shredded by the cats claws as they would dig and cover their waste. After a lot of searching we realized that there was nothing currently on the market that was durable enough to withstand a cats claws, keep litter where it belongs, and make litter box sanitation a breeze for us humans. That’s when we got to work, and Kattekop was born.
We started with a vision. We knew we needed a liner that was tough enough to stand up to cat claws, kept the litter and waste inside the liner, fit most litter boxes, and is easy to incorporate into your cat sanitation routine. Easier said than done. We spent over a year creating and testing different ideas for liners, sending them out to friends and family across the US to gather feedback and see what works and what doesn’t. Through this process of trial and error we came closer to developing our liner and refining our vision until we finally had success. A durable litter box liner at a fair price point, that simplifies cat sanitation, fits a range of common litter boxes, and looks good doing it!
Our patented liners are made up of 60% paper, reducing our use of plastics minimizes our environmental waste. The inside of the liner features an absorbent pad covered with a moisture resistant layer that allows the litter to absorb the cats waste while keeping the litter box dry and clean. We added the absorbent pad underneath the moisture resistant barrier as a second line of defense against those cats who are prone to excessive digging in the litter box. Another goal of ours was that the liner would be able to fit more than just one specific type of litter box. Some cats are prone to spraying, and others yet are so energetic about covering their waste that they make messes around the litter box. For this reason we prefer high-sided litter boxes, and our liners are tall enough to run up the sides of the litter box walls, and stay in place with clean-release sticky tabs. This keeps all the waste and litter inside of the liner and not in your litter box. If your cat prefers a low side litter box, simply place the liner in the litter box, fold down the sides of the liner, and fill with an appropriate amount of litter.
Here at Kattekop we sincerely believe that our pets are our family, and couldn’t imagine a better way to view Gods greatness than through our relationship with his creation. Whether you are looking for a way to streamline your cat cleanup routine, or you are trying to find a way out of scrubbing litter pans constantly, we have the solution that will give you more time to spend with your cat and less time cleaning up after them!
