You are a genius. Here I am looking at $100 cabinets on Chewy lol I knew KZread was the place to go. Thank you 🙏

Chewies is expensive and the quality is not that great. You might want to look at Facebook marketplace too for furniture that you can customize into a hidden litterbox if you're wanting to go down this path. You can sometime find free grabs.

Absolutely no reason to spend money on a litter box cabinet from Chewie or anywhere else. There are DIY instructions all over the net for making a hideaway litter box from anything including box benches TV Cabinets

And I don’t recommend using “disposable litter boxes“. That means that the cat will poop and poop and poop and PNP and P until it gets thrown away. For the cat safety it’s better to reuse a plastic pan and scoop the crap at least twice a day. Everyone’s cat at least deserves that much cleanliness.

For everyone doing this, you may want to add some tape along those cut plastic edges or melt it down with a heat gun. Just getting my arm scratched by the plastic edges hurt, so I can only imagine how a naked cat or even a cat with fur may feel if they're jumping in or crawling out.

We just did this yesterday! Genius! Thank you for posting!

We've been using this since this video was posted. I don't put a pan in the bottom, I just fill the drawer with litter. It's easy enough to remove the entire drawer to change out the litter. We're also not set up for the bottom and side cut for the access, so we simply removed the middle drawer and use the drawer under our couch to store stuff. We use World's Best Cat Litter and have *never* had an issue with odors. This is the best litter box hack ever. It also helped our senior kitty to keep her butt inside the box. As they get older they can't squat well. She was overhanging her original box and accidentally peeing over the edge. This hack has the frame going all around the drawer. Kitty felt that forcing her to move more into the box without her butt hanging over the side. It was a game changer.

How do you clean the drawer? Doesn’t it just suck up the pee over time and become disgusting? Did you put an insulating layer inbetween?

@@matchgripmatchgrip3712 The drawer is plastic, just like any kitty litter pan is made of. The drawers are easily removable. To clean it, simply pull the drawer open. Remove it to completely dump it and/or wash it out.

I love this brilliant idea. Going to try it out soon. Thanks hun! ❤️

This is brilliant! I have a small gate to keep my dog from going into the basement where the litter box is, but my cat's arthritis has gotten too bad to jump over it. All of the "hidden" litter boxes that you can buy are either too easy access for the dog or hard access for the cat. But this...THIS is perfect. Thank you!

The duct tape can peel up and catch on the cats fur, and will get scratched up and worn down over time. Instead use a torch to melt the sharp edges. Melted plastic fumes are toxic though so do it outside and be safe with the torch.

Funny, but cats are the opposite. They prefer to be out in the open where they can see everything so they can feel safe while in a vulnerable position. It's the same when they're eating. Tucking the box out of sight is for human convenience/comfort only. Don't confuse tolerance for preference. This is the first thing that'll have to go if your cat suddenly stops using the box all together. How do you like the smell of a portapotty? Same deal here. They're literally surrounded by their stink. Of course they're not going to love this. I really hate seeing cats come back to the shelter because they have "behavioural issues" that are almost always because of an uneducated owner :(

Wow, that’s a great idea and your step by step was really helpful.

Thats a cool idea. Surprised you didn't cut out the top draw too. My cats like to sit up and they are big. lol

How cute I have a canadien Sphinx cat myself and she can fill up a litter box 🤢🤮but unfortunately this is a little to small but totally a great diy 🥳

You could probably just use the bottom drawer as the litter box itself rather than putting a box inside of it. Cleaning maybe harder tho

I have storage drawers and the materials mentioned & will be attempting to make this cat covered litter box for my daughters cat! He's scattering litter and playing in his litter box. Help meeee. Hope this works. Thankkkk You!!

Hey yall I saw this and went for it ...except I used 4 drawer bit taller but whatever. Below I saw a few posts about cutting the hole being a problem. I know leave it to a man to bring power tools in but that said jig saw with wood blade BUTTER BABBBBBY use the outside to hole level after all your cutting out center. As you get close to end of circle hole center piece it's a flapper by now. So clean I don't even need duct tape.

Does this help reduce the litter being flung everyone?

I've done this but I'm struggling to find a box that fits well inside the drawer. Help!

hi-im thinking about doing this but i’m worried about the smell being worse with this than with a traditional litter box. how would you say the smell is? has it changed or stayed the same?

@avenuealex2554

I would say it’s the same as a normal litter box. It’s definitely not worse than a normal litter box. but Sphynx cats are known for having extra stinky #2s

If anyone from the UK knows where I can buy a similar set of drawers, that would be great!! I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE and cannot find anything that would work without forking out a lot of money.

It looks quiet expensive to ship these to the UK from Amazon. Do you have anything similar to a Target near you? If not you could look up ikea litter box hacks. Similar concept but it’s not plastic and you need a certain saw. But could be worth looking into for ideas.

I love this idea so I made one for my cat .My cat would not get into the side so then I made him a ramp so that he understood to go up it to go in it but he wanted nothing to do with it long story short I did a lot of hard work for nothing I guess my cat didn’t think it was as cool as I did

Use a sharp exacto knife. Put cardboard or something under it so you don't mess up the floor. You have to push hard to puncture the plastic. Be careful!

@@avenuealex2554 that's good just looked a little small at first but those things can get pretty big.

It's very convenient and looks really Chic but I feel like you did not think about the animals comfort at all and more only about what you wanted it to look like the cat look like he was struggling to get in and out and I can just imagine how it has to bend in there to s*** but people are s***** to animals so I'm not really surprised

The lip smacking almost drove me nuts, but this is an amazing idea💡

pretty sloppy cutting but looks like it works

T y... I noticed you have a baby food KZread ( human). I fed my 🐈 chick. baby food as it was easier for her. Easier for her to heal as it was easier for her to digest her meals so her energy could be utilized for healing her little body.

You can definatly tell it was done by a woman ☕️
