Finding good spots for litter boxes in your home can be a challenge, especially if you live in a small space or your home has multiple cats. One good solution to the problem is cat litter box furniture. These cleverly designed enclosures look like traditional furniture, such as nightstands, side tables, and entry benches, but conceal your cat’s litter box inside. Imagine being able to put a litter pan just about anywhere that’s convenient—without having it sticking out like a sore thumb.
Not sure where to start? Hop down to our explainer on what to consider when choosing cat litter box furniture, or dive right into our top picks.
Our picks
Best Bench: Merry Products Litter Box Storage Bench
Available in brown or white, this popular bench-style cat litter enclosure has a removable partition that helps you customize this piece to accommodate and conceal a wide range of litter boxes, including some electric ones. (A precut hole lets you more easily plug one in through the back of the bench.) Any leftover space can store your cat’s gear, and whatever the cat does inside is hidden—until you swing the doors open to handle the cleanup.
If you have a messy cat, consider covering the inside with waterproof liner during assembly. It’s also worth noting that especially muscly kitties might prefer to push their way out through the doors—a problem some pet parents have solved with extra magnets.
Key Features:
- Made of engineered wood material
- Side entrance can be installed on either end of the bench
- Can hold up to 60 pounds
Dimensions: 37.40″ W x 21.26″ D x 22.64″ H
Best for Large Cats: Good Pet Stuff Cat Litter Planter
Consider hiding your cat’s litter box among your plant collection with this durable pot. It’s surprisingly roomy at 19 by 19 inches at the base, which makes it a good choice for homes with multiple cats or large kitties. A filtered vent system controls dust and odor, and the top unscrews to make cleaning easy.
We recommend lining it to combat any odors that result from cats peeing against the inside walls, and we offer a caution to pet parents with plant-enthusiastic kitties—this artificial greenery likely won’t be an exception to your cat’s approach to indoor plants.
Key Features:
- Simple to put together
- Comes with florist moss and faux plant
- Made of Polypropylene plastic material
Dimensions: 19″ L x 19″ W x 20″ H
Best Dog-Proof: Designer Pet Products Litter Box Enclosure
Available in standard or jumbo sizes, this bench-style enclosure keeps your cat’s litter box out of view and—thanks to an internal panel—safely away from all but the smallest dogs looking for a snack. When it’s time to clean, just lift the hinged top to access the litter box and the scoop in the adjacent compartment. If your cats have an extra-large litter pan, you can remove the internal anti-tracking panel to get extra floor space.
Key Features:
- Choose from black, white, or espresso-colored finishes
- Made from engineered wood
- Fits standard large pan up to 18.5″ x 15.2″ with the panel installed or a larger size if the panel is removed
Dimensions: 20.6″ W x 29.1″ D x 20.8″ H (Standard) or 24.6″ W x 29.9″ D x 23.2″ H (Jumbo)
Best to Minimize Litter Tracking: MS Cat Litter Box
MS Cat Litter Box
This sleek piece features a handy removable litter tray, grated floor to reduce litter tracking, and a smooth retro look.
This sleek enclosure with a clever design comes with its own slide-out litter box, and the entrance includes a grated floor that minimizes litter tracking when your cat exits the box. In addition to moss green, the box is available in Tiffany blue, pink, and white. It’s sized for small- to mid-size cats up to 11 pounds.
It’s worth noting, though, that cats who pee on the side of the litter box can bypass the tray, leading to leaks—so consider putting a waterproof liner down under the tray.
Key Features:
- Comes with a matching litter scoop
- Constructed with plastic material
- Hidden storage compartment for waste bags
Dimensions: 24″ W x 15″ D x 17″ H
Best for Small Cats: Penn-Plax Cat Cabinet
Penn-Plax Cat Cabinet
Sturdy construction and modern design combine with a spacious, easy-to-clean interior—though the opening is on the narrow side.
This sleek plywood litter box cover from Penn-Plax is a good fit for a modern home. Your cat enters and exits through the side opening, while you use the French doors for easy cleaning access. It’s offered in gray stained wood with red or white doors, as well as in all white. Because of the narrow opening, this design is best for small cats who are willing to hop up to get into the box.
Key Features:
- Fits small, standard-sized litter boxes
- Extra small holes on the side opposite of the entrance for ventilation
- Reviewers note that it scratches easily
Dimensions: 22.75″ W x 16.5″ L x 30″ H

If you’re buying for a specific spot, keep an eye on which way the door hinges, since it’s not reversible.

Modern Litter Box Cabinet
This attractive solid-spruce cabinet offers sturdy construction and a handsome exterior.

Key Features:
- Designed with a side entrance

How To Choose Cat Litter Box Furniture
There are a growing number of options for cat litter box furniture and enclosures, from lightweight, easy-to-move enclosures for households that want to reshuffle things often to solid benches and credenzas. Some come with their own litter boxes, while others house a litter box that you select. Your living space and your kitty’s litter box habits will help determine what kind of piece would work best. The good news is most of them are sturdy and easily washable.
If your cat sprays or sometimes goes outside the box, check to make sure that the cabinet you choose has interior materials that won’t absorb urine, or consider adding a liner when you’re building. And if your cat likes to kick litter, pick an enclosure roomy enough for a litter box with high walls or lids.
Don’t expect litter box furniture to carry the same loads as other furniture in your home. Even pieces marketed as benches or nightstands are generally not made to withstand the weight of heavy items like TVs—or people. And keep in mind that they’ll be housing active animals, so think twice about what you put on top of that cute cabinet. Books are great, vases—not so much. Once you figure out your cat’s needs (as well as your own), choosing the right piece of litter box furniture is a much easier process.
