Cat litter tray
Hi. I'm considering getting a cat, but I live in a smallish flat and I'm struggling to think where I would keep the litter tray.*
I had already seen a covered corner one that I could possibly keep in my hall, but it would be right behind the front door and might not be ideal.* Does anyone keep theirs in the bathroom, or is that weird?*

I've got a cat, she's an outdoor cat, but when she's a lazy arse (when its raining) I've got a litter tray for her, she rarely uses it, mines in the utility room, but did have it in bathroom for a while (building works) I didn't like it tbh, end of the day, its up to you.

Don't worry about it, a litter tray will probably not even be required.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/CitiKitty-Ca...ds=cats+toilet The tricky bit is training them to remember to flush. P.S. Use at your own risk, no responsibility accepted if your new kitten falls down the bog. |

I use a hooded litter tray for my cat with smart cat litter £2.40 from asda. I keep it in the kitchen by the window i get no smells and the cat has no issues at all in using it.

I have my cat litter tray right by the sink in the bathroom, makes most sense to me and fits perfectly!. Seriously it doesn't even get in the way when washing face/ brushing teeth etc and we've not dropped anything in it yet!
And easy to clean out when they have a poo, simply scoop it out using a scoop and flush it down the loo. bish bosh. (also means you can shut the bathroom door a bit and it's not staring everyone in the face from the hall/ living room/ etc). |

Don't even think of having a pet unless it can experience some degree of a natural life. Anything else is just inflicting cruelty for the sake of your own self-indulgence.

However what your comment has to do with a litter tray baffles me or are you saying that litter trays should not exist ? |

I have a covered litter tray in the bathroom. They don't really use it anymore but used it fine as kittens when they didn't go out.

I am sure you could get a corner covered litter tray. You can also get them with cat flaps.

Some good ideas there i like the bookcase one i'm not using draws in my bookcase so might take them out put cat litter tray in their place and build a flap for easy access for cat
![]() I now have a "feeding station" for my kitties where they have a tray to hold their bowls and also a water fountain and it's all covered and hidden away (and I don't trip over it all anymore) my teeny one loves it cos he can climb in and nom without being pounced on my another kitty in playful mode.Some of those ideas are GENUIS! (and very beautiful) |

I did this with a wooden chest of drawers I have in the hall. I left the first 2 rows of drawers in and removed the bottom two and unscrewed the sliders.

Thanks for the replies. Some of the furniture ideas are really good. I could maybe do something like that in the bathroom. The thing is, there is no window in the bathroom. Do you think the smell would be noticeable with the right cat litter and routine? We had a hamster and I felt like I could smell it 24/7, even right after cleaning.
I think I'll give the actual toilet training thing a miss!

If you get a bit paranoid or have visitors and are worried you can get a scented dust to sprinkle over the litter as well. Hamsters stink ALL the time, tis a rodent thing.
