Creating Your Own Litter Box Enclosure

Cat Litter Box Curtain Nook

This makes great use of unused space, turning it into an adorable hidden litter box spot.

What You'll Need

• Wooden dowel rod
• Light- to medium-weight fabric
• Felt pads for furniture legs
• Hot glue gun and sticks

How to Make It

1. Select a small structural space: the bottom of a closet, the bottom shelf of a built-in bookcase, or a nook between the wall and a heavy piece of stationary furniture.
2. Cut the dowel rod to fit snugly between the two areas. Place a felt pad on each end of the dowel.
3. Measure the fabric so that when it's on the dowel, it hangs about three inches from the ground, making room for your cat to get in and out.
4. Glue the fabric to the rod. Hold down for one to two minutes to form a bond.
5. Hang the dowel and curtain tightly into the nook.

Another option for this nook is to use a curtain tension rod and a tabbed curtain.

Cat Litter Box Stall

This litter box enclosure is perfect for those who share a bathroom with their cat.

What You'll Need

• White foam core
• Scrap piece of white cardboard
• Utility knife
• Ruler
• Household glue
• Black permanent marker

How to Make It

1. Place three vertical pieces of foam core side by side on a flat surface, three-fourths of an inch apart.
2. Cut out a twelve by one and one-quarter inch section from the bottom of each board, leaving two two-inch "legs" on the bottom.
3. On the middle board, start the door by making a sixteen-inch vertical cut, centered between the two feet at the bottom.
4. Starting at the sixteen-inch cut, make a twelve-inch long horizontal cut.
5. Flip over the middle panel and make a sixteen-inch vertical cut on what is the door "hinge" but don't cut all the way through.
6. Make the wall connectors by cutting four strips (three by one and one-quarter inch) from the cardboard. Glue the strips near the bottom and top of each panel to connect boards.
7. When the glue is dry, stand up the three panels to form the stall.
8. The door should be left ajar so your cat can easily access her box.
9. Use the black marker to define the feet, draw a door handle or add graffiti!
