I was very excited when Tidy Cats asked our cat Apollo to be an ambassador for their new Tidy Cats LightWeight with Glade Tough Odor Solutions litter!
This heavy-duty lightweight litter has the same serious odor-fighting power that you expect from Tidy Cats in an amazingly pleasant floral scent. It smells like spring and is just what I need!
My Cat’s Litter Box Problem
Here’s my problem and why I am excited about nice smelling cat litter… Apollo, is a VERY fancy feline. If you pet him, he will clean that exact spot of fur. He turns his nose up at messes like no other cat I’ve ever had.
We laugh at how he is a five star cat and the king of the house! Our cat is so fancy, that even getting his paws in the kitty litter is beneath him. Therefore he prefers to poop right next to the litter instead of in it! Argh!
I’ve tried everything to remedy his issue with the litter box, such as using two cat litter boxes, one for #1 and one for #2. Well, that worked a few times as long as I cleaned his litter out right after he does his business. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
It’s a constant battle to get Apollo to use the kitty litter. Obviously he could care less…
The quest to get my cat to go poo in his kitty litter box will hopefully end now!
I’m excited to try the new Tidy Cats LightWeight with Glade Tough Odor Solutions Clean Blossoms to improve not only the odor in my bathroom where I keep his litter, but to hopefully find something fancy enough for him.
I think Apollo will really like the Glade scent as well as I do, because he’s fancy like that!

I’m proud to introduce my new DIY Cat Litter Box Holder!
If you have a cat too, I hope you enjoy this easy DIY idea to hide your cat’s kitty litter in your home!
What you’ll need to make a Cat Litter Box Holder:
- Large storage container big enough to hold your litter box
- Cat litter box
- Cat litter box liners
- Tidy Cats LightWeight Kitty Litter
- Contact paper or a Cat Litter Mat
- Tools: Jigsaw and Drill
- Optional: kitty litter cleanup kit and battery operated light
First I used a jigsaw to cut a rectangle shape in a large plastic storage box, big enough for him to walk through.
I then added some contact paper liner on the bottom of the storage container and put the cat litter box inside full of nice smelling Tidy Cats LightWeight with Glade Tough Odor Solutions Clean Blossoms.
I added a battery operated light and new clean up kit. Then decorated the outside for my very fancy cat!
Next, I drilled ventilation holes in the lid over the area that covers the kitty litter. I made a cat shape for my box!
You can add the lid to the box or take it off. Putting the lid on it when guest come over is a great idea to hide the litter. The storage box I found has wheels on the back, so I can move it around the house anytime!
Using Tidy Cats LightWeight litter makes it easy to move the litter as well.
Look who came to explore as I was making this!
Since Apollo was curious, I tested it out my new DIY Cat Litter Box Holder by putting on the lid and turning on the light.
Apollo brings my family so much joy, that I’m happy to create a nice space just for him! He seems to really like it so far. I’m crossing my fingers this easy DIY cat litter box idea is fancy enough for him though. ha!
Wish me luck!
Update: Did my cat use this homemade litter box?
It’s been several years since I made this DIY kitty litter box, so here’s the update. Apollo used this kitty litter for a while, it was wonderful while it lasted! ha!
I now have a small children’s plastic pool full of kitty litter that he uses. At nearly 20lbs, he is just way too big for a normal litter box. We still use Tidy Cats LightWeight litter. It’s the only kind he likes!

I cant use a cat box liner because Tika rips them to shreds. : ) My problem is that I’m such a procrastinator (hmmmm…lazy?) I don’t scoop the litter nearly as often as I should. Tika is at least 12 yrs old – I inherited her when my Mom passed on 2010 and she had her for a while before that. (I hate it when people want you to ‘do away’ with a pet because “It’s just a dog…or it’s just a cat” When Mom passed finding an apartment that would allow my dog was hard but he was a friend/companion not just a dog/pet)

Did the tidy cats litter solve the problem of cat pooping outside the box?
We are having that problem and can’t find a solution
Nikki says
We searched for years for a solution for our old man who just misses the box sometimes! Wish I’d see this blog earlier, but we ended up coming up with the exact same idea! With a twist! Instead of contact paper, since our old guy pees over the edge sometimes, I lay down puppy training pads! If he goes over the edge, it is 1. Almost always completely absorbed by the puppy liner and 2. Any off the puppy pad is still in the plastic bin. No more pee on my floors!

Thanks for sharing your great idea. I’m definitely going to try your DiY cat litter box house.
I use Tidy Cat light litter also. My cats like it.
Amy Locurto says
I found that scoop holder at Target.
Nancy says
Where did you get the holder for the scoop?
Linda R says
This idea will be perfect for camping with 2 cats. The litter box goes in the camper shower and it is a pain to clean up the litter that inevitably ended up outside the litter box. This will make the 2 times a day litter box cleaning much easier. Thanks so much for sharing the idea.

Hey there, where did you get the bin with rollers at the back please?
Amy Locurto says
Thanks! I used a kitchen cabinet liner for the mat! Here is something similar: https://amzn.to/2A7cK3p

Where did you get that kitty litter mat?? It’s so cute!
Trying this today!
Carmen Cranley says
Love this idea. I tried it and it turned out great ?
Barb says
Thank you sooo much for this idea. I’ve been searching for the solution to the mess my cats create. We bought a couple storage totes a few days ago and makes the clean up process so much better.
