Cats are curious creatures that love to snuggle one minute but will ignore the next. They make great animal companions, and training them to use the litter box is super easy. It’s one of the best things about them and also the worst. After all, you do have a box of poop lying around in your home that you eventually have to clean up. You can’t put the litterbox anywhere either. It doesn’t go with any decorating or theme choice you may have. So many cat owners want to know, how can I hide my cat’s litter box?

It’s a smelly eyesore, plus finding a great place to hide it, will also give your furry friend a bit of privacy. It’ll also cut down on smells and even having to pick up litter that has been tracked all over your home. If you have a dog, it could also prevent your dog from rummaging through your cat’s litter box. Here are some creative ways to hide the litter box:

• A wardrobe or floor cabinet can make a great choice. Since the doors will be closed all the time, no one will ever know it’s there. Your cat will need to get in and out. Cut a hole on the side so it can do so. You can conceal the gap with a bench, so no one else knows it there either.

• Hide it behind a curtain. If you have a small table, place the litterbox underneath it and surround did with a curtain. This will hide the box and add some extra design to your home. Do this to other tables in that room, so it doesn’t look too out of place.

• If you have a cupboard under the stairs, turn this in your kitty’s bathroom. Install a kitty door, so they can go in and out without you having to keep the door open. This can help cut back on odors.

• Turn the bottom two drawers of a dresser into a hiding place. You’ll want to make sure they open up together for cleaning, but installing a kitty door will help your cat get in and out to do their business. It’ll also cut back on litter being tracked around your home.

• Recycle an old wooden wine case for a repurposed hiding place for your cat’s litter box. While finding a wooden wine case may prove challenging, if you do find one, it will add a bit of old-world class, considering what’s hiding inside. Just cut a hole big enough for your cat to get in and out.

Hiding your litterbox isn’t too tricky. While it can easily be put behind a door in the laundry room, making sure it’s accessible to your cat is more important. Hiding it in creative ways can give you a chance to update your home décor. It’ll provide a place for your cat to do their business without your company have to see firsthand over a dinner party. By hiding the litter box in plain view, you can show off your creative side and still take care of your best friend.
