And now, the long awaited Hide-a-box Kitty Bench!

[user 135067]

She showed me a picture on the web and then pointed to the kitty boxes and said "I want those in this."

Never one to turn down a challenge I accepted.

This was made with left over lumber from the kitchen remodel. Not only was it virtually free, it got a bit of scrap out of my way.

I complained a lot... because it didn't go smoothly. But it's done. I do like completing a project. It's gratifying when a plan finally comes together.

Excellent! It looks great!

 

[user 135067]

Thanks. I'd like it better if it was made from boards, but she likes the ribbons in the edges of plywood. I built her a desk in a similar manner. I'd built her a bed before that. It was plywood, but built into a small sofa for a headboard. I built the entertainment center for the TV per her instructions. And there is the custom kitchen I finished last year. I'm not a fan of plywood, but lumber is expensive and real boards take a lot of preparation.

I think if she wants something else, I'm going to point her toward IKEA.

Very nice! The kitty is going to love that thing.

That's what I like about you, Fin. You are always so encouraging.

That thing is so cool! I was just looking at these for my own.

Very well done!

Nice job Jesse! I hope the cats enjoy it. My cats are ******** and would never go near it or only lay on the cushion up top.

If it is a close, dark place you'll find my cats in it.

The critics finally signed off on the bench. It is rarely catless.

Do they get in the bench?

 

[user 135067]

Yep. It seems to be the preferred potty.

Oh the litter box is in there?

 

[user 135067]

Yeah, two of them. Ugly things. Best to hide them. That was the whole point of the bench.

Is it vented in the back or something? Im so goofy...I thought it was just a secret snooze place. My cats use the kitty door to go to their kitty deck that leads to the yard. No litter boxes for me.
