I love my kitten to death. But he has a problem. He thinks his litter-box is a sandbox. He gets the litter everywhere. I would end up sweeping at least three times everyday because of the mess he would make. I wanted to find an alternative without purchasing the $50 covered litter-boxes. I thought a plastic container might work. I would have to cut a circle out on top of the lid so he could enter and exit. This way he could play all he wanted and the litter would not disperse all over the floor. I bought a bin at Lowe’s for $5.98. If this did not work out, at least I would have a new storage container!
The 18 gallon bin
I used a paper plate and a sharpie to make a circle on the top of the lid
The perfect circle
I needed my boyfriends muscles to cut the circle. He used a razor blade for the first cut then used scissors
My cat jumped right in once he figured out what this was
He loves it. The only mess I have is some litter on the top of the lid, but I brush that right back in. This is the best invention and both me and my cat are as happy as can be!
Supplies:
- 18 Gallon Plastic Bin: $5.98 at Lowe’s

Directions:
- Use a marker to outline the paper plate to make the circle on the lid of the bin
