Litter Box Cabinet: Hide the litter tray in stylish furniture

A litter box cabinet tucks your cat's toilet away inside a smart piece of furniture. Litter stays in the cabinet and your home looks neat and tidy.

Litter Box Cabinet: Furniture that keeps the litter tray out of sight

A litter tray often ends up in the middle of the bathroom or hallway, and it is rarely a pretty sight. A litter box cabinet solves that: the tray disappears inside a piece of furniture and your cat gets in through its own entrance. From the outside you only see a cabinet that blends in with your decor. Litter that gets kicked out stays inside, and the top gives you a handy surface for plants or decorations.

Three models for different homes

The Kerbl cat cabinet Ida looks like a classic side table and has a drawer that keeps the litter scoop and bags close at hand. At 45 x 58 x 60 cm it fits nicely into a hallway or bathroom. Helena hides the litter tray inside and offers a lounging surface on top, where your cat will happily doze. The ECO cat cabinet Daffy is made from recycled material and is a true 2-in-1 piece: use it to hide the litter tray or as a cosy sleeping spot for your cat.

Size, ventilation and cleaning

Before you buy, measure your litter tray and compare it with the interior dimensions. Your cat should be able to turn around comfortably and not bump its head at the entrance. An open tray usually fits better than a tall hooded box. Because less air circulates inside a cabinet, daily cleaning matters even more: scoop out clumps, change the litter regularly and leave the door open now and then. Place the cabinet in a quiet spot where your cat can go undisturbed.

Frequently asked questions

Which litter tray fits inside a litter box cabinet?
An open tray or one with a low rim works best. Tall hooded boxes often won't fit, and you don't need the hood inside a cabinet anyway. Measure length, width and height and allow a few centimetres of space so you can pull the tray out easily.

Does a litter tray smell worse inside a cabinet?
Not if you keep on top of it. Remove clumps every day, change the litter in good time and leave the cabinet door open every so often to let fresh air in. Airing the room where the cabinet stands helps too.

What if my cat won't go into the cabinet?
Put the cabinet where the litter tray used to be, use the litter your cat knows and leave the door open at first. Some cats need a few days before they trust the darker entrance. A second, open tray nearby gives your cat extra security during the changeover.

Hide the litter tray with the right cabinet

With a litter box cabinet, your cat's toilet becomes part of your furniture. The tray sits protected inside, your cat slips in through the entrance and from the outside you just see a tidy cabinet. Litter that gets scratched out stays inside, and the top gives you extra space for storage or decorations. In smaller homes in particular, that makes a real difference. In our range you'll find models from Kerbl: Ida with a handy drawer for the scoop and bags, Helena with a lounging surface on top, and the ECO cabinet Daffy made from recycled material, which works either as a litter tray hideaway or a sleeping spot. When choosing, make sure your tray fits inside with a little room to spare and that your cat can turn around comfortably. Clean the tray daily and open the door now and then for fresh air. That way everything stays clean and your cat is happy to use it.
