Many New Yorkers prefer apartments with open floor plans, but if you are a pet parent like me, you’ll find that these types of places have an annoying drawback: There’s practically nowhere to hide a cat’s litter box.
That’s what I discovered when I moved into a new, open layout apartment with a small bathroom—which is pretty standard in NYC
Of course, if you’re lucky enough to have a kitchen cabinet to spare, you can take off the door and keep your cat’s litter box there. Or, if you have a dressing room or walk-in closet that you don’t spend much time in (like I used to have at my old place), you can stow your cat’s loo there. (If you’re buying your apartment and intend to renovate, here are some pet-friendly renovation ideas including hideaway litter boxes).
But if you don’t have extra space, you will have to get creative and invest in another solution. To help you out, Brick rounded up stylish litter boxes as well as furniture made to hide a litter box in plain sight.
