My sweet hubby spent his Sunday afternoon installing this:
{a kitty pet door into the garage}
Alice has run away twice this month. She's an inside cat, but escapes every chance she gets.
I cannot imagine why (although there are days I want to join her....)
And Ike has fallen off the 15 foot ledge in our entryway twice in the last two weeks. He's down to 7 lives and is sporting a limp.
So, we've got a runaway and one on suicide watch. Oh, and the litter box in the garage is working out for one of them.
So, our house smells a lot better.
The garage? Not so much.

This is why we have dogs.
Cuz, you know, all that mud-tracking, rolling-in-stinky-dead-things, and throwing up in the dining room is so much more appealing.
But at least they don't poop indoors.
Oh that is great! Makes me really wish that our garage wasn't converted into a family room. Oh well.
Cheers to your hubby for doing such a nice job.
Gotta love our pets! Great cat door! :)
Very nice of him. My hubby's getting me a dumpster--rented for a weekend now that soccer season is over. With the price of that baby, I wouldn't be surprised if it was my birthday present.
I'm guessing you're staying out of the garage these days. Eeek!
DANG! Our garage is out Master Bedroom...We only have one cat and I'm ready to toss in the towel it's five months old but JEEZ!!!!!!! Puey!
I think you gotta enter my give a way this week so you can have a chance to win a "my husband rocks" tee, but your hubby obviously does!
I have that same sense of smell! I can walk into a house and tell if there are cats!
I want one of those, but I am so afraid that our neighbors cats would use it too along with the raccoons that come to visit every night. I am afraid I would wake up one night to one big animal party going on in my kitchen!
We had a kitty door at one of our houses. Loved it. But the cats brought birds, mice and rabbits thru it. Yours should work well if it just goes in/out the garage. The things we do for our kitties. :)
My sentiments..I really don't do well with anything inside something up my house..just ask the kids..they are restricted to outside until it's dark-thirty!
o'I kid..although it would be nice to install a kid size..pet entry..tee hee
I love it and I understand that strong sense of smell, sometimes I wish I didn't have it!!
Uh...we put in a small doggie door two weeks ago and the Demon Dog just figured it out in the last day or two. Seriously, we had to push her in and out of it about ten thousand times! Now, we put her outside and...two seconds later...taa daaa...here's Lucy. We keep forgetting to close the laundry room door when we would rather she stay out for a while. She just keeps making circles.
My goodness - I guess you wouldn't be THAT family if your pets didn't have issues too! HA!
RunAway and Suicide Watch??? This is serious :[
We have to have our litter box in the laundry room and it kind of ruins the fresh smell of the clean clothes if you know what I mean!
That was a very smart idea. One of your better diy projects of the month!
Graet idea! I need to look into one of those nifty installations.
We ended up with three litter boxes for two cats.
Tidy Multicat clumping litter works the best for our critters.
We have a black cat that loves to get out every chance he can...too.
I just worry he will get in a fight or get lost. Love your new kitty door.
Can your husband come do that at my house? Great idea! Our cat's poopy is next to my office and it STINKS! ha.
I am so with you. We just did the exact same thing this past weekend. I had HAD IT with the cats, we have no laundry room, so litter boxes were in bedrooms, litter was tracked constantly on my hardwood floors, and I have a BIONIC nose. It was down to move the litter boxes to the garage or get rid of the cats. Since I couldn't break my sons' hearts, we're trying litter box in the garage and hoping it works.
