The Cat Crapper Deluxe

Cat Crapper Deluxe How-To:)

Step 1:  Acquire cheap cabinet.  I found this microwave cabinet for $35 at a thrift store, it was in great shape and will help organize the bathroom, perfect!

Step 2:  Burn up some blades cutting a hole in the side of your new cabinet, insert cat flap, secure.  Cat flaps can be found at major pet supply chains.               

Step 3:  Install litter pan, toss in cat, quickly shut the doors and let them figure things out.

Step 4:  Stand back and admire the odor-free and nicely contained awesomeness that is the Cat Crapper Deluxe!

Just a few notes;)

The boys were a bit worried about Fat Eve fitting through the small sized cat flap, we debated long and hard on which size to buy, in the end I felt the $15 difference made the smaller flap the best choice and since most of her fat is in the rear, she could ooze through.  Turns out she fit just fine:)

Since the litter tray is a larger one(Fat Eve has issues hitting the smaller ones) there isn't a lot of room in the cabinet once the pan is inserted, so the cats tend to step from the pan right out the door, tracking litter, so I slid an old piece of carpet under the cabinet to catch it.  Works great and looks just fine.  Maybe one of these days I'll buy a nicer rug, or not.

Having the litter box double as a piece of furniture has many advantages.  We now have storage in a room that has hardly any, it's neat and clean, and best of all, we don't have to look at the wretched litter box!  Oh, and no stink!!
