Our advice Buying Guide
In an ideal world, your’ cat’s litter box would be invisible, odorless and wouldn’t need frequent upkeep. Sadly, you live in a world that’s far from ideal and have to make do with large, frumpy litter boxes that eat into precious space and wreak havoc with the decor in your home.
No matter how well it’s packaged, a cat litter box is always an eyesore. That’s precisely why someone smart came along and designed cat litter box benches.
These are multifunctional furniture pieces that neatly conceal your cat’s litter boxes and double up as side tables or simple benches. The design allows your cats to access their boxes easily and go about their businesses like cats do, in a discreet and inconspicuous fashion.
If this is your first outing shopping for cat litter box benches, then here’s some help.
What types of cat litter box furniture are there?
Despite being a recent development, cat litter box benches have evolved in the blink of an eye. What started off as a slightly mundane way to conceal a litter box, today boasts of fancy furniture pieces that look like anything but it. You can choose from side tables, end tables, upholstered ottomans, terracotta pots, wooden wardrobes, simple benches and a lot more.
How to select the best size cat litter box bench?
Since litter boxes come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, there’s no standard sizing to refer to. Instead, you will have to measure the litter box and then select a bench that’s big enough to accommodate it.
Ideally, it should be roomy enough to allow your cat easy access, contain any litter that’s kicked up and have some extra room to spare to store your cat’s knick-knacks.
How to make sure your cat has good access to the litter box?
Some cats are claustrophobic and wouldn’t be dragged into a litter box bench let alone enter it by themselves. If that’s the case, then look for one with multiple windows and access doors. A bright and airy space will help soothe frayed nerves and allow your cat to get adjusted to the bench.
Some litter box benches have customizable access doors that can be placed on any side of the box. Not only does this make it easier for your pet to access the box, but it also helps in adjusting the box according to the décor.
Also, the interior compartments of the bench must be easily accessible. A hydraulic-hinged top that lifts up or a large side door allows you to remove the litter box for maintenance or scoop litter without crawling on your knees.
How to pick the right material for a cat litter box bench?
It’s always tricky to select the right material for multifunctional furniture pieces. You risk losing on aesthetics if you sway too much towards functionality and vice-a-versa.
Solid wood almost ticks all the right boxes. It looks great, is stable and sturdy enough to be used as an end table or as a seating surface. The only possible niggle is that it won’t be 100% waterproof no matter how well you seal it. So, if you are selecting a wooden cat litter bench, look for one that has an internal waterproof plastic lining to protect it from urine and spills.
Check the weight of the bench with the cat litter in it. You don’t want to haul a heavy furniture piece around home. Plastic and plastic composites are lightweight, durable and inexpensive. The caveat is that it wouldn’t look as good as wood does, ever.
Weigh the pros and cons of each material type before you narrow down on one.
