Cat-box Bench

Using more pine, particleboard, and beadboard, Jolliffe put together this litter box hideaway that, topped with a cushion, doubles as a bench in a bath or mudroom. There's an arched opening on the side for the cat to enter, and a piano-hinged top for the litter box to exit for cleaning. Carpet laid inside helps trap the clumps of grit that often get stuck in cats' paws.
