Back in 2014, I featured an alternative litter box idea: I proposed this stainless steel steam table pan to be used as a kitty toilet. Since then, several cat supply brands have picked up on this idea, and there are many more choices when shopping for a stainless steel litter box for cats. You can see some alternatives below.
Stainless steel seems like a no-brainer material for a cat litter box -- it's stainless! Metal boxes like this one with smooth corners and straight sides are easy to clean and this type of material won't retain odors or stains.
The box featured here (the exact same one featured all those years ago) is very close in dimensions to a large standard litter pan you'd find at any pet store. The box measures 20.9" by 12.9" by 6.1". The pan has a small outer lip that is curled under at the edge, so it's safe for your cat to enter and exit. The strong box is also surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to work with and clean.

Kitchen carts designed to hold microwaves or other appliances are usually sturdy pieces of furniture. Consider using a multiple shelf unit like this one, highly rated for its intended use, as a piece of furniture for your cat! There are several different space-saving ways you can use...
Alternative use product alert! One of our kitties (it's William) has a thing for chewing on wires. He especially likes Apple product wires and other similarly pliable round cables. They're his favorite thing and he's already chewed through several iPhone chargers and even our Amazon Echo wire! William is the reason we couldn't play Christmas music in our living room on Christmas day. We tried a few options and found this great solution: split loom tubing.
This is a great alternative litterbox that was not primarily designed to be a litterbox. It's actually an industrial stainless steel steam table pan. Yep, this "litter box" was made to prepare and serve food!
