I have been thinking about this for some time. I live in Florida, and have 2 cats. My only concern about building this into the garage is that it's very warm in there. Summer months are around 100 degrees. Does anyone have an idea about odor control in hot, humid areas? I plan to use a pet door for access to the box. I am thinking about using a 2x3 foot plastic cement mixing box (about 6 inches high) inside, and adding a door on the side to slid it out for cleaning and access. I was thinking about sealing it and not have vents. (because of the heat in the garage) Great idea! I have been thinking about this for some time. I live in Florida, and have 2 cats.

I constructed a wooden cat box and attached it to the wall inside the garage. The other side of the wall was the hallway to the powder room and laundry room, I used peg board on top(for ventilation) and hinged it in the middle to make it easy for cleaning access. For cat entry from inside the house I used a pet door ensuring no odor would enter the house. I used plastic to fit into the grooves on each side of the pet door between the drywall, creating a seamless and attractive entry. It is way over-engineered...I believe it would hold the weight of a small vehicle :), but it works very well. All my guests think it's the greatest idea. I went a step further and installed an electrical outlet and put an automatic litter tray inside along with a fan/charcoal filter for further ventilation/odor control. I work in the garage quite a bit so I am currently coming up with a way to create a weather-proof box and moving it outside so I don't have to deal with the odor at all. Being the handyman I am...if I find the time I plan on coming up with an easier method to manufacture/sell/install. Regards, Chad P. Hi Dan,

I wish nothing but success to your dad. This is something that will become more and more popular, especially with new construction, I think. It's a nifty differentiation. I know when we sold our house, the people who bought it were in love with the nifty cat box and it's actually WHY they even looked at our house to begin with. Even in real estate... if you have a niche thing to market, you're much better off than trying to appeal to the masses. Cheers! Dan Hi Penny,

I've been searching for several months for some brilliant cat box concept that would keep the box invisible and the small more effectively under control. This is just a great concept. Thank you for sharing. My dad is a retired general contractor, drywall guy and cat lover. I'm sending this to him and asking for his FIRST box. Thanks again!
