For the majority of my life I have had cats in the house. I have always had the traditional litter box tucked away next to the toilet
I have grown tired of this set up with litter under my feet, dust every where and the smell in the bathroom.
The wife and I wanted to change this, specially since we are adding more people to our home. As we need to free up the spare bathroom and no longer can give it to the 4 cats. We searched high and low for many ideas.
We chose to make our own litter box instead of spending good money on a particle board set up. We deceided on using an old steamer trunk for ours.
A simple 8″ hole cut in the side near the back allows the cats to enter. Litter pan, litter box (40 lbs), plastic bag holder and litter scoop all fit inside. Since ours came with the top tray included. We remodeled it so one can still scoop through, yet holds all of the extra items such as brushes, combs, eye drops, etc.
Cost? Less than a traditional plastic shell litter box bought at a pet store. The steamer trunk was $25 off Craigslist. Add a few hours of labor to wash the trunk inside and out. And the litter box is complete, hidden and now part of the normal household furnishings. People will now see 4 cats in the house, not litter boxes nor litter trails. And we finally get our 2nd bathroom back!
