Hi y’all,
We are downsizing and Molly is used to going in a storage cabinet in our utility room where I took off a door and stuck her litter box but that’s not an option in the new house. Anyone use creative litter box hiding techniques that their kitty has a good experience with? The previous owner had an end table type stand that hid the box that was on a screen porch when we looked at the house but in Arizona you would need one inside in the summer. Didn’t know if those are roomy enough although Molly is 9 pounds but rather tall.

Hi. I haven't ever used them. But, I've seen them on chewy.com, Petco.com, and Amazon.com. I am sure there are other sites as well.

I also did a quick search here to see if anyone has talked about using them, but didn't find anything recent.

We use this, it's a litter box that is somewhat disguised as a plant in a stand. While I'd love to have a cabinet, it isn't something I can practically fit at this time. Both of the girls love this box. It's roomy and while it is covered it has a wide opening and vents at the top. Most people don't seem to notice it's a litter box until we call their attention to it.

Looks like it’s on sale as well ($33 off).

I have seen that one while searching! Thank you for your reply ... I do like these alternatives rather than a litter box just sitting somewhere.

As do we. It just simply blends in with the decor in the corner of my living room next to my desk. I don't have a space that is hidden where I live, everything is more or less on display. The girls have a second box in my bedroom that most people mistake for a wastebasket.

I don't personally hide litter boxes but my sister likes to follow the Ikea hacks pinterest litter box pages. If you are handy enough to alter an Ikea box of wood there are some very attractive options.

The cat cafe near me has benches with circles cut out for cats to go in and out that hides the litters. The bench seats lift up for easy removal of the pans. They look great and are comfortable for sitting on as well as being functional.

These options look really good, but for my amount of cats I like being able to see who is doing what. I've saved a lot in vet bills by being observant but I know that's a multi-cat household issue.

Thank you! I’ve been searching Pinterest so will check it out! And I get that about the multi cat thing.
