Cat Litter Box in Kitchen, Bad Idea?

<p>I love cats, but who likes a litter box? In the kitchen? Never. It needs to go in some out of the way spot - cats like their “privacy” too. I personally like a little to never used bathtub, if there is one available. That keeps the litter from getting out into general traffic, and it can be cleaned with bleach etc. (the tub that is) if need be. If not, a back hallway or other similar spot. My own cat is somewhat at a disadvantage in that the litter box must be inaccessible to the dogs, who will mess with it if they can.</p>
