Cat Litter Box Cabinet for Small Apartments

Comparison checklist
Footprint
What to check: Cabinet width, depth, door swing, and walking clearance.

Cleaning access
What to check: Large door opening, tray clearance, and how easily a scoop can reach corners.
Why it matters: If cleaning becomes awkward, odor and litter mess get worse.
Cat entry
What to check: Entry height, opening size, and whether senior or large cats can get in comfortably.
Why it matters: A cabinet fails if the cat avoids it.
