Today, there are a multitude of litter gadgets, such as self-cleaners, booster seats, automatic waste disposal, rotating bowl litter boxes, and even potty training systems. These clever things come and go faster than you can say “ShamWow!” So what do you do when you need a replacement part or new accessories? Let’s face it, if there was a perfect answer to cleaning the litter box, wouldn’t there be a standard now? Just like our human toilets? You will eventually have to clean up the litter box clutter, so you might as well hide it in an attractive piece of furniture. With the beauty and cleanliness of one of these, your guests won’t even know you have a cat.
Cat litter furniture can be any enclosure (usually wood) that also serves as a standard piece of furniture, but with a cat door in the front. Simply place a standard litter box inside and your cat will have privacy when she needs to go about her business. If you can’t get rid of clutter and odor, you can at least hide it attractively. They also minimize dust and keep floors clean.
There are models available that look like side tables, nightstands, buffets (I don’t care how pretty it looks, I don’t put a litter box in my dining room, but to each their own.), benches, chests of drawers, and even small cat houses. . I like the style of Ace Cat Furniture. It’s a classic design with wood paneling on the sides and a shelf on top for storing small flat items like magazines and books. Virtually any model could also be used as an enclosure for a cat or dog bed.
When purchasing cat litter furniture, look for a large door that opens for easy access to clean or replace the litter tray. The part will likely require assembly, so if you’re not mechanically inclined, you may want to look for one with limited parts and hardware included. Also pay attention to the weight of the wood. A heavy piece will be difficult to move and will cost more to ship.
