Great idea. I am trying to find a way to hide our litter box. It is proving to be a challenge because we live in a 26ft RV. Excellent ideas though. Keep on DIY'ing..oh yeah 🙂😁👍💖

I have been told by my vet that essential oils are toxic to cats. I would say to do some research before using them.
This is from Google:
”Essential oils can pose a toxic risk to household pets, especially to cats. ... Cats lack an essential enzyme in their liver and as such have difficulty metabolizing and eliminating certain toxins like essential oils. Cats are also very sensitive to phenols and phenolic compounds, which can be found in some essential oils.”
Also, many cats will not use a covered box because they are very sensitive to smells. An enclosed box can smell like a very ripe outhouse and so your cat may begin to go outside of the box
“The human nose has about 5 million olfactory receptors, microscopic proteins that allow us to detect odors. With 45 million to 80 million receptors, cats have a far better sense of smell—but they can't measure up to the average dog, whose snout holds between 149 million and 300 million receptors.” Google

Have a question about this project?
Would a pet door work as well? If so I think a it would work well on the side. Re garding smells I hang car air freshrners in places wear I need to contral smells they last about a month I think, plus I can get them in paks of three cheper than paks of one. Kay Australia
How do you keep the insides from being permeated with odor, since it is enclosed? Fabulous idea though!!
How many cats do you have ? I have two so have 3 litter boxes. Would I be best separating or could I get away with two in one cabinet ?
