Top 5 Designs of Cat Litter Box Furniture

This rather elegant litter box cabinet is probably my favourite of the lot - and not just because it comes from Pet Studio, which has some very clever designs in pet furniture. I like the clean lines of the design, the mahogany colour, and even the antique-brass-look hardware on the doors.

It's all a kind of 1920s your-gin-and-tonic-is-waiting-on-the-sideboard-sir kind of style... Or maybe that's just me. :)

Anyway, someone was really thinking when they designed this piece of furniture, I believe - and I'd bet it was someone who has spent a little time scooping kitty litter! It has the kind of hinges that let you open the doors well past 90 degrees wide, so you can get in there to scoop without being a yoga master.

Inside the two front cabinet doors, you'll find a convenient full-width drawer where you can keep your scoop, disposal bags, etc. handy for clean-up. Beneath the drawer, there's plenty of room for a standard litter box - the interior measures 27-7/8 inches wide x 16 inches high x 17-3/4-inches deep. (The cabinet exterior is 28 x 24 x 19 inches.)

Have a look at the customer reviews and see what others think. This would certainly be my first choice for replacing my existing cabinet, and the Pet Studio MDF Litter Box Cat Cabinet, Mahogany is now being shipped to select countries outside the United States, so it is now available to some international cat-owners as well as those in the USA.

The bench-style Designer Catbox Litter Box Enclosure has an interior panel you can take out if you want to use a giant size litter box instead of a standard, but it's part of the design for a clever reason I think you'll find interesting.

The exterior entrance and the doorway in that divider panel are offset, so an energetic cat can't kick the litter out the door and or track litter onto your floor. There's space inside to store your scoop and extra kitty litter, too.

With this cat box enclosure, you can use a standard large litter pan (approx. 18.5" x 15.25" x 5.25") or a high-backed litter pan (measuring 18.6" x 14.7" x 9.8"). Note: if you choose not to install the interior divider panel, you can use a larger litter pan. The overall (exterior) size of the Designer Catbox is 29.1" length by 20.6" width by 20.8" in height, with interior dimensions of 26.4" length by 18.5" width by 14.2" in height. The outside entrance is 7.5 inches wide by 8 inches high, so it even a large cat can access the litter box inside.

Another smart design element to note - you can switch the entrance to either end, depending on how you want to arrange your furniture, to make this look completely like a mudroom bench or cabinet by hiding the cat door.

This is also one of the very few pieces of hidden cat litter box furniture you'll find that's actually made of wood, so that's a bonus if excess moisture (in other words, cat pee "accidents") are a problem - as we all know can happen, especially with toms or elderly cats.

This clean-lined classic of a cabinet features a wainscoting panel exterior detail that works well with home decor styles from the traditional to country to contemporary.

Shown here as a bathroom cabinet - note the top shelf and stainless steel towel bar (included) - it would look just as appropriate in a laundry room, bedroom, hallway, or corner of the guest room, wherever you want to hide your cat's duty station. Dual function, you can use this practical piece of furniture as a cat condo instead of a litter box cabinet, if you want, for a kitty who likes to nap in privacy.

Measuring 18.5 x 16.5 x 18.5 inches, the Merry Pet Cat Washroom / Night Stand will hold a standard size litter box (not included).

Assembly instructions and stainless steel hardware are included, and all you need to put it together is a standard Phillips screwdriver. Also good to note, the Merry Pet Cat Washroom litter box cabinet is covered by a 1-year warranty.

I'll be honest with you here - I think the Cat Condos Litter Box Enclosure is an attractive, sturdy, and useful piece of cat furniture, but it seems to me just slightly on the pricey side. Especially if you compare it to the other pieces it's up against here. On the other hand, there are a number of good features to note:

1. No assembly required.


2. The lid of the box just lifts off and on, so there's no worry about hardware failures.


3. The carpet on the outside means the litter box cover can double as a cat stand and scratching post, which is handy if you're living in a very limited space with a bored cat.


4. Laminate on the inside means it's easy to clean and shouldn't absorb smells if a cat has an "accident" inside.


5. It's a generous size. Inside dimensions are 32" length x 19" width x 19" height, with outside measurements of 33" x 21" x 19" - and a little elementary math will tell you what that means in terms of wall thickness, hence the "sturdy" in its description!

Come to think about it... that's a lot of value. The carpeted Cat Condos model just moved up a knotch on my list of best cat litter box furniture. :-)

If you've got wicker furniture, and you're looking for an enclosure to make your cat litter box look like a piece of furniture instead of a kitty commode, Mr. Herzher's Decorative Litter Pan Cover, a resin-wicker cat box enclosure, is the clear choice, if only because your choices in this style are rather limited.

Now, it does get mixed reviews - the door latch seems to be the main weakness, so you might want to plan on replacing it unless the manufacturer has made recent changes to their hardware.

There are a couple of unusual features worth noting, however: a catch tray for stray litter, glide-out rails for easy cleaning (litter box not included), and non-slip feet to protect your floors.
