If you get a cat tower, you could put it on the top. If not, a dresser, or another area that the cat can climb but the dog can't, would work.

You can put it in a closet that no one uses really (like in the laundry room, bathroom, etc.) and only keep the closet door open a little so the cat can get it and use it. When you leave the house, close the door (make sure the cat isn't in the closet though!) so the dog won't get in. Then, when you get back home, open the door again.

Put it on a shelf or whil you r gone you can put it in and the kitty in a big room and close the door that way the dog will not be able to get to it! I hope this works out!

If you have a screened backporch, you can put it there. Thats what we did with my two cats because my dog kept trying to eat the crap. Haha. Put it some place high up or in a laundry room.

If your only worry is the puppy getting into it, you could always try an open top "dog proof" litter box like this one:

You may be able to find one at your local pet store or pet superstore... Or you can order it online.

Put the litter box and the cat in a room with lots of windows and shut the door to keep the dog out. Another option is to keep the litter box in the bathroom but put up a baby gate to block the puppy from getting in. The cat will still be able to jump over the fence to get to the litter box.

we keep ours in the basement. i'm not sure if you have a basement or if you do if your dog is trained not to go down there but if that doesn't help, you can put it in your laundry room. mostly my dog doesn't go in there. she also doesn't like bathrooms b/c she doesn't like baths so if your serious about cleaning it out a lot (so it won't smell) you could put it in a bathroom! i hope this helps! if not you can leave one in my inbox about where else to put it!

If your house has a basement, you could put the litter box in the basement and close the door when no one's there.

askmex3 answered Thursday August 11 2005, 2:23 pm:
try a laundry room, a bathroom, garage, or a place in your room (if you dont mind the smell)..if your dog can get into these places then try putting putting it somewhere up top! for example on top of the washer or dryer? this way your cat can still reach it but you dont have to worry about your dog getting into it! hope i helped &hearts; good luck

When we had a cat we put ours in our basment. Remember, Cats can climb but puppys cant so maybe it could sit higher and hae a cat climbing thing next to it? Gooodluck! Doesnt need to be too high though.. and if not you can justmake sure you let the dog if it does go in the litter that you mean buissness! lmbo byebye

Put it somewhere up higher where the cats can get to it but the dogs can't, like my friend has theirs in the laundry room, and have a little childrens burrier thing to keep the dogs out, but the cats can jump in.

xomegaroni answered Thursday August 11 2005, 1:18 pm:
my aunt and uncle has 2 dogs, and like 5 cats, so i know what you mean. they keep their litterboxes in the basement and keep the doors open when the dogs are in diff areas of the house where they can see them. but when the cats go down shut the door so the dogs dont follow them. also when they go away they leave the cats in the basement w/ the litterbox and keep the dogs upstairs.

-hope that helped!

my dog does the same thing...so what my mom did was get an old desk from a thrif store and put my cats food and litter box up there so that way my cat can jump up there and my dog cant.
and that way you can put it anywhere.

Teza answered Thursday August 11 2005, 1:11 pm:
Depends how big your house is and where your puppy is staying. Maybe you could put it in your room if it isnt too small? If you keep it clean it wont smell or anything. You could try to find some room in the basement. I mean the litter box doesnt take that much room so I`m sure you will find something. But you're lucky that you're getting a kitty! I wanted one my whole life! Lol.. good luck though.
