cabinet for litter tray....

[charliebubs]

I have seen at cat shows a company that makes wooden cabinets that look like furniture (chest of draws etc) but that have a hole in one end and contain a litter tray.

I was trying to find them or something similar on the net to have a look at prices (as the new house I like doesn't have a utility room, so I'd have to have the litter tray/s in the dining room).

I have found this company in America, but nothing here. Does anyone know of a company here that does it please?

Fran - perhaps you have seen them at shows?

:? :roll:

I seem to remember someone (maybe Moli) posting a square basket type affair that hid a litter tray. But that was a long time ago

[charliebubs]

There are loads of them in America..............

Look at this site!!!!!!!!!! :)

I haven't noticed them at shows Charlie, that's not to say there haven't been any just that I haven't specifically looked for them. I will keep an eye out at the next shows I go to if you don't find one in the mean time. They're an excellent idea aren't they?

What a fab idea!

[kado]

Thats is a brilliant idea. Im thinking of getting my friend to make me one he's a carpenter . The hole would have to be big enough for guinness though.

This is not what you are looking for Charlie but its the only uk thing I have been able to find so far.

I love the way they describe that one as coming with a 'modesty flap' ......... how sweet!! :-D

Thanks Elaine. :)

Not bad as a back-up plan.

I'm going to a couple of shows soon, so hopefully the man will be there again.

Can you ask him to make one for me too please!!!!!!!!!!!???????? ;)

Simple enough idea Charlie, get a nice looking cabinet from somewhere like Ikea/Argos, get saw out and make a hole in the side, sand down to smooth edges vola!!! lol

[charliebubs]

I did think about it Emma, but I'm not great at DIY and my dad is even worse!!! lol

Plus - how would you take the top off to clean it out etc :?

Hmmmm - think I'll just keep searching for that man. ;)

[EmmaG]

Just get one that has doors on it....hold on I am off to look at Argos :)

[EmmaG]

The cupboard part of this is only £45 and is deep enough to put a litter tray in it

[EmmaG]

Obviously you wouldn't put the shelf in at that height but you could put it in higher.

[charliebubs]

Hahahahaha - thank you Emma!!!! I like having a research assistant!! lol :lol:

Yes, that could work well - just without the shelf and some kind of latch on the doors so that they can't push them open.

Thank you!!!!!!!!! ;)

(am still going to keep my eye out for that man tho - and the easy option!! lol)

[EmmaG]

lol

You could easily fit some catches to the door to stop them opening but so that you could open them when you wanted to.

[EmmaG]

You can also get those laminate finishing strips from B&Q that would finish off around a hole you cut out, you can find them in the kitchen section.

[alexgirl73]

I think you should just set yourself up in business supplying these in the UK Emma lol!

[EmmaG]

lol well in theory they would be very easy to make :)

[Fran]

I like that one Whiskey!!!!!

[Mags]

I like that one too!!:D

[Elaine]

Oooh that one looks really nice. Might incorporate that one into my plans for the bathroom.;)

[dinahsmum]

I was thinking maybe start with a 'chest' - like a child's toy box or blanket box or similar. It's big enough for the tray at one end and the 'pop-hole' at the other and room for puss to sort him/herself out whilst still inside.
Then you just raise the lift up top for cleaning access.
Some examples - all sorts of styles - here http://www.pinesolutions.co.uk/acatalog/Rug_Boxes.html?gclid=CP-7_-CtyYsCFQHmlAodxTTKBg

[Donna]

Love the idea of one of those cabinets - do they work for the hooded litter trays too??

[charliebubs]

I don't think so Donna. I think they are meant to be instead of the hood. :?

I'll let you know when I get mine anyway!!!! :-D :-D :-D

[dinahsmum]

Found this 'litter tray cover' which is a bit cheaper than the furniture solution.

Might work, depending on your decor?

[charliebubs]

That does look good DM. I'm going to keep the link in case I decide I need another one. I think I would be able to paint it white maybe to match the decor? :?

[Animagus]
