I think I liked this cat litter hider better than my cat. Mine lasted about two years and then it was so destroyed on the inside I had to take it apart/throw it out. My kitty liked using the cat door but made her displeasure known by urinating outside the box on the melamine coating of the litter furniture. It didn't take long for the inside to become smelly and hard to clean. The box itself is quite large so if you're trying to hide a cat's box in a small place...it'll be kind of hard to find a feasible spot.
