How do you hide the litter box without hindering your cat’s access to their bathroom? With hidden litter box furniture! Learn why there are benefits to hiding the litter box, especially inside a stylish piece of decor. Check out our top picks for hidden litter box furniture below.
Why use hidden litter box furniture?
There are always reasons to hide the litter box. You may have a small apartment where you don’t want the litter box out in the open, or dogs in the home that like to sniff out “treats” in the litter box. As long as it is easily accessible to your cat, a hidden litter box can be a real benefit to your pet household.
Small spaces
If you live in a studio or small apartment, you probably have limited options for where to place the litter box—and even fewer options for where to hide one. A piece of hidden litter box furniture should not only hide the litter box in your small space, it should provide functional use in other ways. Think storage, shelving, or even a TV stand.
Aesthetic
Even a litter box with amodern design may not jive with your home decor. At the end of the day, it’s still an appliance that holds your cat’s waste! Hiding the litter box inside a stylish piece of furniture is the ideal way to “dress up” your cat’s toilet. Chances are good that your guests won’t know there’s a litter box in the house, period.
Dogs at home
The icky fact is, many dogs eat cat poop if given the opportunity. A dirty open litter box is a veritable treasure trove of snacks for your scavenging pup. Not only is this behavior gross, it can make your dog sick and create a big mess for you. While there are many dog-proof litter box options out there, the simplest choice may be to invest in hidden litter box furniture.
Odor control
The litter box inevitably stinks. However, the more barriers between the litter box and the open air, the better the odor control will be. Whether that’s a covered litter box or hidden litter box furniture, less exposure to air will result in fewer odors. Just make sure the litter box is easily accessible for your kitty!
Privacy
For many cats, using the litter box is a private experience. Your cat may feel vulnerable if forced to use the litter box out in the open where heavy foot traffic occurs. As a result, they may choose to go to the bathroom outside of the litter box. Hidden litter box furniture provides your kitty with some well-deserved concealment!
