Maybe those who use artificial bedding could check out fleece? If you wash it about 3 times it wicks moisture to the bottom level so you could put newspaper underneith. Then when it gets dirty, get the poop and huge urates off and wash it and dry it? No fabric softener though, that makes the moisture stay ontop. Meaning the liquid pard of the urine... lol. Then just switch it out with another piece of fleece and different newspaper?
