How to Make a Cat Litter Box

To make a cat litter box that will be just as helpful as a store brought litter box, you need to have some materials that will not absorb the cat urine. It is possible to use a cardboard box or wood box as a cat litter box. You will need some extra supplies to make this type of litter box. The size of the box will depend on how many cats are in the household and for this type of cat litter box, you must use scoopable cat litter and scoop it every day.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cardboard box long enough and wide enough
• Plastic cat litter liners
• Cat litter
• Scoop
• Grit paper liner
• Box cutter

1. Find a cardboard box that is long enough and wide enough for the cat litter box. The height of the cat litter box can be made by cutting the cardboard at the designated height with a box cutter.

2. Take the cardboard box that you have cut down to the right height and place a plastic cat litter bag over the entire box. This will protect the cat box from any cat urine and make it last longer. When the box needs to be changed, simply pull the bag off of the cardboard box and dispose of in the garbage and replace with a new bag liner.

3. Place a grit paper liner in the bottom of the box after the litter bag liner is in place. This will give added protection to the cardboard cat litter box. Make sure the grit paper fits the box from side to side and end to end.

4. Add the scoopable cat litter to the cardboard box cat litter pan. This should be a least two to three inches deep. Use the scoop to level out the cat litter

5. Use the scoop to keep the litter box free from standing feces and urine. This adds life to the cardboard cat litter box.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a strong cardboard box such as a box used by grocery stores for canned goods and things that are heavy.
• Introduce the cat to the box a couple of times before they are used to it being for them.
• Never allow a ripped bag to be left on the cardboard box. Replace it immediately.
