Really need an outdoor litter box, cannot find one!

[QueenOfIce]

Long term I can make lovely outdoor facilities for my 2, however we are having catproofing done next week and I need a quick solution so they don't poo all over the garden. (Wishful thinking?!)

I've looked and looked and can't find anything suitable, do any of you have a similar set up?

I just use a regular litter box, which is outside in a sheltered area from the rain (porch)

Can you just use a hooded litter tray. We got one from pets at home.

Litter box inside a small dog kennel or similar.

I looked at a hooded tray but they all seem to have vents that will let in the rain, need to research small kennels more I want one with a removable roof so I can clean it I think that's the issue.

We got ours from Amazon. Think it's same one demented linked to.

By the way, we have the same set up as you. Cat proofed garden with an outdoor tray so she doesn't mess up the whole garden. Works really well, she occasionally goes outside but not very often.

Tell me about your cat proofing solutions, people. I need this.

What’s a cat proofed garden? To stop them getting out or do you mean nets over your flower beds?

I looked at that demented and pro, do you think that would be ok? I saw this and quite liked it as my pair like room but there's no guarantees they'll use it!

We're having the Katzecure system around our garden which looks so much better than the high security prison netting effect!

we bought a flip lid opening box from b+m - it was around £5. the litter tray is inside this box. we leave half the flip open and half closed and she jumps in when she needs to use it. its then in a sheltered area. we did this to stop the dog eating the poo before we had a chance to clean it up

also cats can't jump a fence over a certain angle - so if you put a wooden panel, net , wire etc at the top of the fence on a particular angle - no matter how tall the fence is the cat won't jump it. its good at keeping cats in but not out unless you live on the end of a row and can put it on the outside of the fence.

@queenofice - that's the tray we have, has worked well for the last couple of years. We started off with it indoors with the lid off, then put the lid one once she was using it and finally moved it outside. It's just near the cat flap so she doesn't have far to go.

We used the secure a cat system. They provide angled brackets to attach to fence posts which then support the netting. Really easy to put up, has kept out cat in and other cats out without a hitch.

How about something like this, meant for rabbits but has the removable roof homeandroost.co.uk/product/run-cosy-run-shelter/

Do you mind me asking you what the katsecure system cost? We've been looking into catprooofing and that one looks much better.

I like that patch but thinks it's a little too small to give them room to get in then go in the tray.

Catching we have a 30ft x 30ft ish garden and ours is around £2000. Hope that helps.

That does thank you, mine is a little smaller and I expected around that price.
