Raise both hands if you have dogs and cats. Now, be honest. How many of you have dogs who help themselves to treats from the litter box? Yeah, you know what I’m talking about! You need to get yourself a dog-proof litter box. […]

It’s unfortunately a disposable item after awhile, unless I go crazy lining it. But hey, at least when they miss the box, it won’t end up on the floors or walls!

but Ikea only had the small Hol and I didn’t make this sliding top.

A huge issue was the cats peed on the wood slats, or, their turds collected in the little holes there.

I was able to fit in one of those round boxes with the domed lids, which did the trick, but then I had two lids to remove each time.

But if you go for the nice, enclosed solution, you need to take into account that the sides will get dirty and smelly, so you need a really high plastic box to put inside, or the furniture should fit an enclosed litter box.
