How to disguise or hide a litter box so that it is out of sight

A litter box can be an eye-sore, even if you empty it as often as possible. Here are some ideas on how to disguise or hide a litter tray that your cat will enjoy - and you will find practical and useful.

 

Any cat owner knows that a litter tray can be unsightly to have in the home. If your cat doesn't do it's business outdoors, or doesn't have easy access to go outside, a litter tray is the only option. If this is the case you will want the litter tray out of sight and out of the way.

We put together a collection of DIY ideas that you can consider:

ABOVE and BELOW: Using a jigsaw or sabre saw allows you to cut out an opening in kitchen cabinet doors if you have a cupboard to spare. This method allows easy access for your kitty and also allows you to be easily clean out the litter tray as and when required.

BELOW: If your cutting skills are limited you can limit the access point to a simple rectangle or square shape.

Another solution to consider is to buy or make a free-standing cabinet to hold the litter box. Cutting out an opening in the side allows easy access for your pet and keeps the litter box out of sight.

This plywood cupboard found on Etsy is just the thing for a modern home and you can easily knock up in a day. When buying plywood check the quality of the board before you buy. There are too many inferior products on the market and when making furniture you want to go for a better quality marine plywood.
