Hidden and almost odorless cat toilet
Anyone who runs a cat household knows how difficult it can sometimes be with the cat litter box. We live with two cats in a 60-m2 apartment and had from the beginning to fight again and again with smell and cat litter. In addition, it was difficult to accommodate the litter box inconspicuously, since we have no storage room and in the toilet and bathroom not enough space. The only option for us was the small vestibule, in which a litter box but when entering the apartment does not seem inviting.
So we decided to "make" an alternative to the usual hood toilets (which our two cats have accepted well).
Materials:
- -> Box / chest of Ikea in the desired size
- -> 2-way cat flap (in our case by Trixie)
- -> mat to underlay
- -> suitable cat toilet
This is how we did it:
For this we bought a small box / chest of drawers at Ikea and sawed a hole on the side of the jigsaw, suitable for the cat flap. We planned the cat door so that it does not lead from the anteroom in the direction of the living rooms (to avoid odor nuisance at entry and exit). The cat flap was inserted and fastened with screws.
In the interior of the box, we have a shelf mounted on which all the accessories (shovels, garbage bags, etc.) is stored. Directly over the litter box, we have hung an activated charcoal bag (I'm not sure if that causes much, but it should bind the odors).
The cats immediately accepted the toilet well (after practicing the training and entry through the initially unknown cat flap and rewarded with treats).
The annoying smell has decreased significantly and the exit through the cat flap leaves most of the cat litter in the box.
We are all very satisfied with this solution!
