A Kitty Outhouse
Project at a Glance
- Can be decorated to fit your decor
- Options with and without utility shelf
- Calculator provided to fit your own litter box
This can be an indoor treatment, as most cat boxes are indoors, but my litterboxes are all outdoors. I have a small enclosed deck—the city version of the great outdoors—so I call it an outhouse. Wherever it is placed, this is a huge improvement on the look of a litterbox.
I’ve created two versions: left is the simple outhouse and right is the outhouse with utility shelf.
These designs house a Petmate® Booda Dome litter box, one that I recommend for its dimensions for cats as well as ease of cleaning (no corners to clean—it is circular/dome-like). But with the calculator I created, you can change the dimensions of this pattern to fit your own litterbox:
Calculator: simple box cover
If you are not using a Booda dome box, enter the dimensions of your own:
What is the length of the litterbox from the side you want your cat to enter?
What is the length of the other sides of the litterbox?

If you are not using a Booda dome box, enter the dimensions of your own:
What is the length of the litterbox from the side you want your cat to enter?
What is the length of the other sides of the litterbox?
Calculate!So, to get started,
- Print out the instructions
- Measure your litterbox
- Run a calculation of cuts to fit your dimensions
- Create your custom litter cover and send me pix!
