5.1 Litter Box Placement

Open the double doors to access the main cabinet compartment. Place a standard-sized litter box (up to 20.5" L x 17" W x 14.5" H) inside. The internal entry allows your cat to access the litter box discreetly. The rear panel features ventilation holes to promote air circulation and reduce odor buildup.

5.2 Using the Scratching Board

The detachable scratching board is located in the open compartment. This provides a dedicated surface for your cat to sharpen its claws, helping to protect your furniture. It also helps to collect litter from your cat's paws as they exit the enclosure.
