Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to upgrade my cat’s litter situation for a while now. You know, the standard plastic box just wasn’t cutting it anymore – it was an eyesore, and honestly, the smell wasn’t ideal, even with regular scooping. So I started looking into these “cat litter box furniture” things, and let me tell you, it’s a whole world of options out there! Some folks even call it “litter box enclosure”.
I finally settled on a top-opening design. My thinking was, it would be easier to clean, and maybe, just maybe, contain the mess a bit better. Plus, I found one that looked like a nice piece of furniture – a win-win! I chose the one labeled with “60” Large Double Hidden Cat Litter Box Furniture”.
First, I measured the space where I wanted to put the new litter box. This step was super important, ’cause some of these things are pretty big. It’s also important to choose litter box made of material that are harmless to environment, the one labeled with “FSC” might be a good choice. After I got the measurements down, I started shopping around.
The assembly process was…well, let’s just say it involved a lot of following instructions and maybe a few frustrated sighs. But I managed to put the whole thing together by myself, which felt pretty good. It’s a sturdy piece, made of some kind of wood, and it actually looks pretty decent in my living room.
Next up, I had to introduce my cat to his new bathroom. I placed his old litter box next to the new one for a few days, just to let him get used to the sight and smell of it. Then, I scooped some of his used litter into the new box – gotta give him some familiar scents, you know?
It took a couple of days, but he finally ventured inside. I think the enclosed space and the privacy it offers really appealed to him. He started using the new box regularly, and I was thrilled! There’s even a scratching pad inside, so he can take care of his claws while he’s in there.
The top-opening design turned out to be a game-changer. Cleaning is so much easier now – I just lift the lid and scoop away. And because it’s enclosed, the smell is definitely reduced. Plus, my living room looks way nicer without that ugly plastic box on display.
The only real downside was the price. These things aren’t exactly cheap. But for me, it was worth the investment. My cat is happy, my living room looks better, and the whole litter situation is just way more pleasant. I also bought some accessories that are for cats and cat owners.
If you’re thinking about getting one of these cat litter box furniture pieces, I say go for it! Just make sure you measure your space, choose a design that works for you and your cat, and be prepared for a bit of assembly work. Trust me, it’s worth the effort!
- Measure your space: These things can be bulky.
- Choose a design you like: Top-opening, side-opening, enclosed, etc.
- Introduce your cat gradually: Let them get used to the new box.
- Enjoy the benefits: Less mess, less smell, and a nicer-looking home!
Seriously, this thing has been a lifesaver. Or at least, a nose-saver! My cat seems to love it, and I’m definitely a fan. Two paws up from me!
