Good, better, best: Modern litter boxes that hide in plain sight

Add as a preferred source on Google

Litter boxes are unsightly and smelly, which is why many hidden litter box options have emerged over the years. If you want to keep your litter box in an area like a hallway, living room, or kitchen, then investing in a modern concealed litter box can make that easier and more practical. These enclosed litter box solutions closely resemble regular furniture, and they can even enhance your home’s decor. While they look great, they’re also designed with your cat in mind, and they feature perks that make it easier to clean a litter box. If your cat is ready for an upgrade, consider these options and how they’ll look with your existing furniture.

This litter box may look like a plant at first glance, but it also offers a spacious interior for your cats. The enclosed design helps conceal odors, while the high sides also prevent litter from being strewn into your home.

  • Removable litter tray with a nonstick surface
  • Good for cats up to 15 pounds

Not only does the MS Cat Litter Box for Easier Handling of Cat Litter have a modern design that conceals its comfort-station function, but that design is also optimized to make cleaning the litter box easier. The box’s sleek, sophisticated style blends easily with your furniture. This litter box is equipped with an inner cabinet and a litter scoop, allowing you to store everything in a compact way. The removable litter tray has a nonstick surface and helps block odors. Just slide it out, dump it, and replace it for easy cleaning. This box also features grated interior steps that help keep litter inside instead of letting your cat track it all over your floor. The hidden compartment is generously sized, and this box is a great choice for cats who weigh up to 15 pounds.

When buying a modern litter box, it’s important to consider both the space you have available and your cat’s needs. If you have a location in mind for the box, then measure out those dimensions to help narrow down your buying choices. Next, think about your cat’s needs. If you have a larger cat, you may need a larger box so that he can move around comfortably, especially when the box is enclosed. If your cat is smaller or has arthritis, then the higher edges of some boxes may be difficult for him to navigate. Finally, if you have a multi-cat house, plan on buying at least two litter boxes to keep all your cats happy. These modern litter boxes will make a great addition to your home, and they give you more choices when it comes to just where you want to position the box.

You have almost certainly heard of a dog's tickle spot, but are cats ticklish? Like us and their canine cousins, kitties do experience tickling, although they may not like it much.

We also have some tips on other places to scritch if the tickling doesn't work out.
Are cats ticklish? Where are cats the most ticklish?

Fur protects your cat from all manner of things — the sun, brambles, and bugs, to name a few. The fuzziest spots, therefore, won't have as much of a reaction to tickling. So if your cat does like the occasional scratch, you should focus on areas without as much hair, including ears, nose, and paw pads. Hairless cats have a lot more locations without the protective fur, and so will have more tickle spots.
