We have ours in the kitchen and it has always been there. Just because it is in that room, it does not mean it has to go anywhere near any food you know! In our kitchen the litter tray is tucked out of the way between the sink and the tumble dryer.
At night I move it upstairs to the bathroom, so it is nearby for my cat, because she sleeps in my bedroom.
It seems to make more sense to put it on a tiled floor, than a carpet.
My cats litter trays are in the bathroom ( two in the bathroom they seem to have devised a system with one for poo and one for pee) and another in the lobby near the back door , all on tiles floors.
Their food is kept away in the kitchen and the water fountain the other side of the kitchen, apparently they dont like their drinking source to be too close to their food.
Mine do that too, one for poo, one for wee and the third as the overflow.
For me it works best to have the litter tray in the bathroom. The only time it's a problem is when I am having a nice relaxing soak in the bath and one of them comes in a does a stinker.
