Before we show you some of the ways on how to hide your cat’s litter box in your home use this list of fun and creative idea’s, first let’s look at the basics of setting up a litter box for your cat the right way so you can get the best outcome.

Changing the litter box and surrounding areas of your cat’s territory can sometimes lead to problems and without knowing the basics, it can be a problem to troubleshoot problems if your cat starts misbehaving.

How to set up a cat litter box at home

Basic instructions to set up a cat’s litter box are as follows:

1. Retreat
   Place the litter box away from walking paths in the apartment in a quiet place where the cat is not disturbed.
2. Reachability
   The litter box must always be freely accessible – make sure that a carelessly closed door does not prevent the cat from using the toilet.
3. Living area
   Separate the cat’s comfort zones. The toilet must not be right next to the feeding or sleeping area.
4. Fix-place
   Once installed, you should no longer change the location of the toilet. A litter box that is here today and somewhere else tomorrow confuses the cat.
5. Safety
   The ideal location for a litter box is a corner of the room or a niche. The more walls surround the tub, the more relaxed the cat can be since no “enemy” can sneak up from behind
6. Visual barrier
   Avoid placing the cat site near windows or patio doors from where foreign cats would be visible: no cat likes observers while relieved.

When the treasure chest becomes a toilet box
This option is one of the noblest versions we can imagine for a quiet place.

Here an old wooden chest has been lovingly restored and, like the USEFUL version, converted into a litter box.

Your next litter box may not look like one at first glance.

Clever use of the space under the stairs

Stairs not only provide a good place for additional storage space, but also for a litter box.

So if you are thinking about building cupboards and drawers under your stairs, use one of them as a toilet for your room tiger.

Our tip: Since toilets smell, it is advisable not to store winter clothing in the adjacent closet rooms, but rather to prefer mop and co.

Old chests of drawers with new functions

Bathroom vanity units and old chests of drawers, which stand around somewhere in the house, are quickly converted into a stylish litter box.

They usually offer a lot of space for the actual toilet and the equipment.

They are also easy to open from the front for cleaning.

Kitchen cupboard litter box

In addition to the bathroom, guest toilet or hallway, the kitchen is also a popular place for a litter box for many cat owners.

After all, you also have a trash can here within easy reach.

If you don’t mind cooking where your furry friends are relieved, you should consider this option.

Integrating it into the room is particularly easy if you have a kitchen cupboard free, for example under the sink or next to it.

But make sure that there are no sharp cleaning agents nearby.

A quiet place outdoors

If you are lucky enough to own a terrace, a large balcony or a garden, you can also move one of your litter boxes outside.

A good loo option outdoors will hopefully prevent your cat from relieving itself in the flower, vegetable and herb bed – as is the case with cats, but nobody gets a guarantee for anything here.

In any case, the litter box is embedded in a bench (or a chest) and is protected against wind and weather.

Automatic litter box

The automatic litter box is certainly a significant step forward.

The cat goes to the loo, the litter box automatically recognizes the use and as soon as the cat is down, the fully automatic or only partially automatic (here man has to be active) cleaning is started.

Since cleaning the litter box is probably the most unpleasant task in a cat household, it is also sought here to make work easier.

And an automatic litter box can then be the solution.

Cats are very sensitive animals.

Their sense of smell is strong and they even perceive their environment through their paws.

The best way to clean the litter box is hot water and neutral detergent.

You should clean the litter box regularly and equip it with new litter.

How often depends on which litter you use.
