Where to put the litter box in a small flat
Published 12 November 2026 · Updated 12 November 2026 · Xavier Hure
In a studio or a one-bedroom flat, the box sits in a quiet corner, with a clear path in front of the entrance. Keep it away from the bowls. Open or closed is in the other guide. If the cat’s habit changes suddenly, the veterinarian is the person to ask.
A quiet corner
Away from a machine that starts up, with the box door opening into the room.
Two cats
Two corners, or two boxes cleaned with the same gesture.

Common questions
Is the bathroom suitable?
Yes, if the cat can step in easily and the washing machine does not start right beside it.
What about everyday smells?
A closed box and regular cleaning are enough in most flats. The gesture is the same each day.
The cat avoids the box?
First check the access and the space. A clear change of habit belongs with the veterinarian.
