@@sweetcanada17 I was about to say that too even though I'm sure the poster was joking. I just wish mine would at least give me some privacy when I go. I raised mine from infancy. They trust me completely. That's really nice until decide to use the box near your toilet when you're using the bathroom. And if they aren't using the box then they're laying on my clothes or in the sink. Or wanting attention. Occasionally one will take his milk jug rings into the tub to play as well. Spoiled little turds. Very cute & cuddly turds. But still turd at times.

In past, whenever I brought a new kitten home, I simply dropped it into the litter box. Knew where it was even if moved. Cats love small places so they'd be sure to discover it soon enough. Cool idea. And loved the suggestion for outside vent...perhaps a lit fan to assist. And yes, motion detection for led light. All to gild the lily!

I used to have cats and dogs. Of course the dogs wanted to not only eat the cats food, but also eat their poop. Someone down the street was remodeling their kitchen , so I salvaged a 3-door base cabinet. I pushed the base cabinet up against a wall, that butted up against a wall in my laundry room. I bought a "cat" door at the pet store. What made it a "cat" door was that it had a magnetic latch on the lower part of the door, activated by a mouse shaped magnet that went on the cats collars like a rabies or name tag. Only the cats, (with the magnets on their collars) could activate the latch on the door. I jigsawed out the panels on the base cabinet doors and stapled screen over the openings. I kept their food at one end, and their litter box at the other end. Cleaning the litter box and feeding them happened from the garage side. I left my garage door open most of the time I was at home except after dark and in the winter. The cats spent most of their time in their "veranda" enjoying being outside. It was a great solution to not have the mess and smell of the litter box inside my house. When the house was sold, the buyers had 2 cats and thought the system was ingenious. I left the magnets for their cat"s collars because I had to buy a new cat door for my next house.

They make the motion activated puck lights, but really just a nightlight in the hallway would be way more than enough. Cats see by movement, and are not as dependent on light, like the inferior (all of us!) boom and. Not to mention, before long it becomes a sensory movement; I sleep in an eyemask and can manage a pitch black potty break if needed. Kitty will be fine if he knows the way, and they have done an excellent job of reinforcing that. Kudos!!

I have done this for years. Had a pantry cabinet made with a hole on the side for the cat to enter the bottom of the cabinet to access the litter box. When I was renting apartments. When I bought my own home I cut a door hole into the basement door, put a rubber flap on it and the cat went down there to use the litter box. Personally, I would not have made a transparent cat door. No one wants or needs to watch the cat go potty. It's fancy but not necessary when you could have just cut a little kitty door at the bottom of the existing doors. Plus cats like enclosed cubby holes. Your workmanship was great though.

Whisperwoman - when cats defecate/urinate they are at their most vulnerable and prefer to do it where they can easily see what’s going on around them. Please don’t quote me any anecdotal evidence, which pales in comparison to the findings of cat therapists. My cat was having behavioural problems, and refused to pee and poop in her closed litter box, and once I changed her litter box to an open one, everything changed for the better. I was willing to learn from cat behaviourists. Playing and hanging out in boxes and paper bags cannot be compared to the time they spend in their litter boxes.

@@sweetcanada17 Actually that would be you quoting anecdotal evidence from cat whisperer. I guess you have a short memory. And because your cat had issues with a new cat box you introduced to it does not mean all cats do. Your experience or lack thereof is evident in trying to dismiss where cats spend the majority of their time vs a few minutes. Nor does it make you an expert in any way to be on here thinking you can lecture and spouse your bullshit to strangers on the internet. Your grandiose self -importance and condescension is not attractive it's just arrogance.

Hope you used a NON-TOXIC paint in that enclosed area. Cats are extremely sensitive. Cute idea but doorway needs to be bigger... especially taller.. cat has to bend down to go in and out. Cats do like privacy.You could use contact paper for privacy.. they have frosted glass look and stained glass look and light passes through.

Could possibly work for one cat. But if you find that they’re marking, your cat isn’t liking the hideaway litter box.. some cats will tolerate. Others do not like to set up. Cats don’t need privacy. I know humans are often repulsed by litter boxes, but sometimes you just have to get over it if your cat doesn’t tolerate a hidden litter box. More than one cat, they could mark it/urinate. Just a heads up. Proceed with caution

The entrance should be larger and more clearly marked. Its probably not a problem for most younger cats, but might be for older cats and ones that are ill.

thats a very clever idea. you could have saved a lot of time getting him in there tho. all you really had to do was put the litter box in there and he would have gone right in. they have a natural instinct to go right to it.

My house has laundry machines in a closet in one of the bedrooms, there’s still plenty of closet space next to it but I use that room as a den and put a covered litter box on a table to keep the dog out. I like not having to bend down to clean it, and the table is big enough for extra litter and a bag of food in a sealed container as well as a small lined can for box debris. Closet has 4 sliding doors on a track so I just keep one from closing with a block of wood. I have a bathroom mat in front of the box but she still manages to spread litter onto the floor.

Cats prefer having an open space, they are vulnerable when they are using the bathroom and feel uncomfortable not knowing what's around them let alone only having one exit, best thing to do is have it in the hallway or bedroom without a lid

Cats actually do not need privacy, but if you have more than one cat you should have 2-3 boxes. Litter boxes do best out in the open with no lid

I took a opening under a set of stairs where the door was in the garage to allow storage and cut in a kitty flap door from inside the house to the storage area. I mounted a motion detector LED light and mounted a bath exhaust fan in there as well. When kitty went in, the motion would turn on the light and fan for 5 min. Fan took the Smell out if the closet and into the garage. No smelly house and one happy kitty. Lol

Kind of makes me wish I had a better place for our cat litter box. Right now one is in the shower (or just outside it) and the other one upstairs is in a hallway. Luckily there's no smell! Only when he has just done a number two it's gross. We feed him wet food thrice a day so yeah, the scent of it is not nice.
