Hello!
I’m looking for a bit of inspiration. To the owners of indoor cats: where do you place your litter box in your house (we’re planning without a basement)? To those without basements: where do you dry your laundry in winter that can’t go in the dryer?
And regarding the utility/house connection room: it will house the utility connections, the washing machine, and we also need some space to store things like the vacuum cleaner, cleaning supplies, etc. How big should this room be?
Finally, I’d like some opinions on whether it’s a good idea to have a connecting door from the garage to the house. I often hear that garages are easier to break into than houses, and then an intruder gets into the house quickly through the connecting door. But it would be very practical.
Thanks in advance!

So, some friends of ours have the litter box placed in a corner of the kitchen, which works fine as long as it’s not the main living area. Cats do appreciate privacy when using the litter box, so it’s better to put it in a less frequently used room. A utility room, stairwell, or storage room could work, but the cat will probably spend most of its time in rooms that don’t require opening a door to enter. Or do you want to install cat flaps in all the interior doors? If the scratching post or cat bed is in the living room, making it the cat’s main hangout spot, you could place the litter box in a quiet corner behind the sofa. That way, it’s out of the way but still accessible to the cat at all times.
We will place the cat litter box either in the guest bathroom (which is large enough as it is designed to be barrier-free) or under the stairs. However, the cat litter box is hardly used during the winter months.
Laundry will be dried either in the garden or in the utility room.

I also don’t like having the litter granules everywhere. Having the bathroom on the ground floor is a good idea.
As I mentioned before, a cat flap to the litter box room 😉 and the cats should have access to the rest of the house anyway (except the kitchen and utility room, the latter is too dangerous for me).
