However, there are plenty of options for hiding your cat’s litter box while keeping it accessible for your cat. We’ve found several options, from the stylish to the subtle, and even if you don't find your perfect fit in our list, hopefully, it will inspire you!

The 19 Best Ways to Hide a Litter Box

1. Top Entry Litter Box

Not only does this top-entry litter box idea hide the litter box, but it also keeps curious dog noses out of your cat’s business! The small hole makes accessing their litter box tricky for any pet except your cat. The enclosed space will prevent odors from escaping into the rest of your house.

2. Scratching Post

There are many options for this scratching post design, and many have hideaways built into them. If your cat isn’t utilizing this hideaway space, it might be the perfect place for the litter box!

3. Cabinet Litter Box

If you like the elegant look, this might be the option for you. This stylish cabinet has easy access for your cat and keeps the litter box out of sight, so it blends right into the furniture.

4. Litter Box Seating Area

7. The Kitty Corner

Sometimes, hiding in plain sight is the best option. Create the perfect kitty corner with a cabinet for their litter box with storage and places to relax and play! If you have the space, this is undoubtedly an excellent design.

8. Litter Cabinet With Drawers

A repurposed cabinet will give you enough room for your kitty litter and storage for anything else you need to keep out of sight. So, before you get rid of old furniture, try to find a new job for it! Just make sure you add a cat flap or hole at the side for your cat to get in and out of easily.

9. Box Cabinet

This stylish wood cabinet will look like any other one, but your guests will never know what hides behind its door. Well, until your cat sneaks through the door, that is.

11. Luna Box

This cute table gives your cat a moment of privacy without being enclosed. Luckily, the design will fit in any room!

This simple DIY project can be made from various fabrics as long as they’re easy to clean. A curtain can hide a litter box inside tables, under sinks, or in cabinets.

16. Cat Closet

You can install a cat door wherever you want; if cutting into your wall doesn’t seem appealing, you could always install a cat flap into the door of a closet, garage, or mud room so your cat can access their cat litter without bothering you.
