Do you RV with your cat?

So in the RV we have two chihuahuas and a cat. One of the biggest problems is one of the chi's has a love for cat poo. Well thanks to the world wide web I discovered a cat litter box with a hole in the top and tracking so that it stops the litter from being spread all over the RV like standard litter boxes. Sounds great right?! Well get this! It's $30! What are these people smoking!!! So let me give you the 411 on this. It's nothing but a stupid plastic tote with a hole in the top and tractions. So I made my own and here's how to do it.

All you need is:
Plastic tote w/ lid ($5 at Walmart)
Scrap carpet (cheap rug from truck stop would work, or scraps from a carpet store) My husband got ours when they were replacing the carpet at his work.
Hot glue and glue gun
Carpet Knife
Sharpie
Something to trace the hole in the top

I'll have to add picture later but all you need to do is cut a hole in the top of the lid large enough for your cat and make sure you smooth the edges. Then you use the carpet knife and cut the carpet to fit the top of the lid and hot glue it to the lid. Now on mine we didn't use hot glue because we didn't have any, instead we used caulking but make sure it's non toxic and water proof and it takes longer to dry. After gluing the carpet down then cut out the hole in the carpet. I did this after gluing down to make sure the hole was the same size and centered. Then place litter inside and that's it. I did dump my cat inside so she would know the litter was there.

Now instead of sweeping up litter everyday it only needs sweeping during regular cleaning and I use my dust buster to clean the carpet. Also the chihuahuas can't get inside and the smell is better than a front opened litter box.
