I have a 16 year old indoor cat.  We actually have a gate infront of the doorway to the room the literbox is in. Right now I feel my daughter is not at a place where she'll understand "no" and a box full of colorful 'sand'.

They are so curious at this age and there are too many germs for her to be at risk of getting in a litterbox so I have kept a gate to keep her from entering that area. When she's a bit older and understand 'yucky' and garbage much better, I'll feel easier to give her access to that area.

Good luck!

Is it possible to put it outside with a door thru the wall?  My parents had to do that and it works out great...otherwise maybe a closet or pantry that you could leave a bit open for kitty kitty to get into?  Good luck as I know this is a tough thing.

Hi honey,

You can get Kitty litter trays that have dome lids on them, they look like a pet carrier and you can get them from pet stores or some online places such as Ebay . . . They have a clear top so that you can see when the litter needs changing ..

Cheers Kellz

Is there somewhere up high you can put it that is out of bubs reach but fine for the cat? Like on top of the washing machine or something like that.

for awhile i had the litter in the kids bathroom as they shower in mine. we had the woodern gate up. i would put it in your bathroom and put the gate up there.

Hey ,

I have 2 kittens who are also indoor cats (until barry has build littery) we found the most safe place for the cat litter was in he bathroom luckily my daughter (19 monhths) is toilet training so i keep the kitty litter beside the toilet and we have kittys toilet and big girls toilet and most of the time she leaves although sometimes temptation takes  over and she puts fingers in i tell her its dirty its kittys toilet and she must not touch although i did find with the stoney litter she was more tempted as its fun to play with i find with the wood she leaves it alone as pellets arnt as much fun and in your face as wooden pellets .

Luv Emz xx

Is your litter in an enclosed box, http://www.zooplus.co.uk/google/-171/shop/cats/cat_litter_litter_boxes/hooded_litter_box?gclid=CK-FysLJp5ECFQuuQwodXFXPew, we got an enclosed  box with a swing door. It was too much trouble for Caty to bother with, and as it was enclosed it did not attract her like the open box had.

Is it possible to wedge the barrier between the machine and the litter box leaving access to the toilet?

Is it possible to put it in the laundry sink, pop puss into the sink with it  for the first time and he'll/she'll hop down when he/she's finished and will find his or her way back to it.

You could also put it in the bathtub and simply pop it in and out as you require the bath.

I was fortunate I was able to leave the litter as was ans my toilet was in teh bathroom but these are the ideas I'd try, best wishes
