I was stuck with a litter box. It was in my bathroom next to the toilet. It was ok, not good, not great, just a necessity I hated looking at. The shower curtain occasionally would get in there too which was just gross. Also there was litter EVERYWHERE in my bathroom and the second to last thing I want to step into with clean feet is litter (first is poop, duh). So I did a little googling on solutions and was seeing all kinds of great Ikea Hacks, google it if you never have. They were a little more money than I wanted to spend but great brain food. There were also some crazy faux planters with a palm tree on top and unscrewed in the middle, they were inexpensive and also really obnoxious, in my opinion. A few weeks before this I bought a great basket chest at Ross to put all my linens in, and I realized I could just cut a hole in the side and bam! hidden cat box. So I went to Ross and wanted to buy the same one, but it wasn't there which is why I hate Ross and TJ Maxx (actually I love them though). But there was a basket chest that was the right size, it had a cheap fabric lining but it was a great price and could be modified easily. I brought it home, cut out the lining, and used a steak knife to cut a little door in the side. I put a towel in the bottom and a big litter pan on top of the towel. I showed Minnie where the litter box was and she pretended like she couldn't see it, typical cat. I gave her about a day and then got rid of the other litter box. We haven't looked back! I have the basket in a corner of my living room and the side she goes in is close to the wall. No one would know the litter box was there unless they were told. Just an easy, quick and inexpensive solution to the litter box dilemma I know many people who don't have a lot of space face.

| Basket is attractive and inconspicuous, just how I wanted. |

| Hole in side, the basket was really easy to cut. |

| How to clean it, just open the lid! |
Until next time,
