I was walking down the cat litter aisle at the pet store recently, and a fellow customer asked me about what type of litter box I have for my cats. I explained that, for several reasons, I make litter boxes out of big plastic storage bins. The woman seemed familiar with the idea of using storage bins as litter boxes, as she made a comment about how “party boxes” are becoming quite popular these days. Party boxes, meaning large litter boxes.
I will say that every time I buy a new storage bin to make a new litter box, it tends to be even bigger than the last. Our biggest box at the moment is roughly 3 feet long and 1.5 feet wide. It’s pretty darn big for a litter box! But I hadn’t ever heard of these “party boxes” before.
My cats, on the other hand, appear to have received the party box memo…
Not five seconds before this photo was taken Sophie was in the box as well. I just couldn’t get my phone out quicklyk enough to snap the photo. Three out of five cats using the litter box simultaneously… I have to say, that’s a new one for me.
Now, if you get any weird invitations in the mail from Sampson or Caster for a Box Party, you’ll know what they mean…
I’m curious — have you heard of or do you have “party boxes” for your cats?
We love the name! The Katnip Lounge kittehz use a kiddie pool. It is pawsome!
Party boxes – I LOVE it!!! None of the boxes here are party box size – they are not small, but they are definitely for one kitty at at time.
Dang, you’re right, those are big enough for a pawty!
We have big boxes, but not that big : it looks like you already celebrated a pawty ! Purrs
Since I am the “only” kitty here and can’t have a “box pawty” by myself….feel free to call! Love, Cody
There’s no way you’re gonna see us in the box at the same time. Well, at least I won’t share my litterbox time with another cat. Ernie tried it one time with me and let’s just say he won’t be doing that again. ~Wally

I am considering switching to storage bins to reduce the dreaded litter scatter. I have know people to use mortar mix bins from hardware stores–they have more surface area for bigger cats like Maine Coons. Typically they are deeper than regular cat boxen, price is about the same, and are virtually indestructible. I’ve also thought about using restaurant busser tubs instead.
Oh dear
I’m to shy to be a Party pp’er and pooper…Mol
Hugs madi your bfff
All our litter boxes are made from huge storage containers, but none of them have sides over 6 inches. I think those party boxes with the super high sides look really good. I can say unequivocally that none of the eight have ever been in the box with another one of the eight EVER. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
That is too funny!
Wellllllllll…Weez do wequire lawrge pawdee boxes, but weez like our purrivacy. Mommy sez dat wuld be like sunpawdy twyin’ to sit on hers lap and go at da same time. NOT gunna happen any more than weez gunna go in da same box at da same time.
Luv ya’

I’ve never heard of party box! We use regular kitty boxes. But next time we get new one, I might look for some storage bins. Your box looks very large and nice! Three kitties in a box, it’s really a party 🙂
Whoa! Those are some party-sized boxes for sure! And we thought WE had big litter boxes. 🙂
There’s no litter box parties at our place, we’re strictly one at a time here, although sometimes there’s a queue.
We use regular boxes…but if we had a huge one, we think we still would not be ‘pawrty goers’, MOL!
Now that’s a big box! Some of our former kitties Had to use the box while mom was cleaning it, but mom says I don’t have any odd litter box behaviors.
Wow, that’s one giant litterbox and we can’t believe that three kitties were in there at once!
I have never heard of a party box and I have *never* seen more than one cat using a litter box at the same time…amazing!!!
we use child wading pools for litter boxes, so yes, we have party boxes
