All too often, planning for pets becomes an afterthought. Sure, you probably know that your rambunctious dog needs a big backyard, and maybe your cat loves to watch the birds from a window perch. But where will you put the litter pan?

And who wants to have to view that particular eyesore on a regular basis? There are many solutions for this, including the popular kitty room hidden away underneath a staircase. A small cutout for access allows the cat to get into the space, and a larger door for you allows for easy cleaning.
