Frequently Asked Questions
Will litter box furniture for cats really get rid of the smell of cat litter?
This type of furniture keeps the odor contained to a small area and can even absorb and disperse some of it depending on the material. You’ll still want to spray deodorizer in your litter box every so often.
Should I go small or large with my choice of litter cabinet?
A smaller piece will be easier to clean but may not hold larger litter boxes. Likewise, a bigger one will give your cat the needed room but might be less convenient to build and keep tidy. Assess your space and your willingness to be “hands-on” and take it from there.
