Floor plan design

So friends of ours have the litter box in a corner of the kitchen, which is fine as long as it is not the main hangout area. Cats do appreciate quietness when using the toilet, so it’s better to place it in a less frequently used room. A utility room, stairwell, or storage room is an option, but the cat will probably spend most of its time in rooms where you don’t have to open a door to get in. Or do you want to install cat flaps in all the interior doors? If the scratching post or the cat bed is in the living room and this is therefore the main hangout area of the cat, you can also put the litter box in a quiet corner behind the sofa. It is out of the way there and the cat can get to it anytime.

We will place the litter box either in the guest bathroom (is large enough as it is planned to be barrier-free) or under the stairs. However, the litter box itself is hardly used during the winter months. Drying the laundry in the garden or in the utility room.

So I will never put a litter box in living spaces again, it does sometimes stink (although that only happens when we don’t have homemade food and they have to get canned food, poor things) and I don’t want the litter crumbs anymore either. The bathroom on the ground floor is a good idea. And as I already wrote, cat flap to the litter box room ;) and the cats should have access to the rest of the house anyway (except the kitchen and the utility room, the latter is too dangerous for me)
