Is it safe to use scented trash bags in my cat's Litter Robot?

Question

I just got Litter Robot automatic box. Uses regular kitchen trash bags in disposal drawer. Is it safe to use scented bags? I've heard diffuser scents are dangerous to cats, but the cats have no contact with bag (litter & unit touched by cat separate from disposal drawer). Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 3 months old | 7 lbs

Scents aren't necessarily dangerous, but cat's have a much more sensitive sense of smell than we do. If your kitties decide that the scent of the litter box liners isn't nice, they will decide to go potty somewhere else! Also, some cats are very sensitive to certain scents and can have upper or lower respiratory issues with this. It can also cause flare ups in cats that have been diagnosed with feline asthma. So, I would not recommend using scented bags, but if you do, just watch them all very closely for any changes.
