The ultimate cat litter tray, we think you'll agree. Face the opening inwards so guests will never know it's a toilet and the beautiful plant on top is the best camouflage of both sight and smell...
Catcave carving
If you have a small cupboard or barren spot under the stairs then cut a little entrance in the woodwork to allow your cat to take himself off whenever nature calls. A fun entrance shape like this marks your cat's territory.
Doll it up
Available at Petnap
If you live with a little princess who won't use the potty outside then this beautiful doll's house is just for them. Furnished and finished in a high gloss paint, guests will think this is a child's toy, not a litter tray.
Pull the curtain over
Hide the litter tray under a simple side table by covering it with a curtain. Simply loop a piece of material beneath the table top and allow it to hang down. You can even create a little entrance by hooking part of it open.
Play with the design
Available at Zooplus
Fun playpens like this are always available for pets online.
Although the sheltered space underneath is often used as a bedding area, you can easily add a litter tray.
Disguise the furniture
Make a little entrance in the base of a piece of furniture such as this laundry basket to camouflage its real purpose. Your bathroom is also a good place to hide a tray from guests and becomes the cat's own en suite.
