    Home Builder Creates Custom Cat Room Complete with Bougie Wallpaper & People Are Swooning

    If you've ever been a pet parent to cats, you know one of the biggest aggravations is the litter box. Where do you put it so it's not in the way, but also doesn't stink up the house? One New Hampshire builder named Paul Laroche created the perfect solution—a custom cat room—and it's the coolest thing.

    The recent TikTok clip posted by @lr3.development shows the kitty room in all its glory, and it really is spectacular. And the wallpaper? You have to see it for yourself.

    In the clip captioned, "Hidden #cat room," Laroche explains his company LR3 Development is known for their "one-off things for customers." He said the client in question has a cat so he had to find a clever way to incorporate the cat's "bathroom."

    "One of the issues you always have with cats is where you put the litter box ," he said. "So we came up with this unique solution. And the cat essentially has their own room now."

    He shows the small cat door with "little paw prints on the door, custom inlaid," and it looks like a normal door with a knob and everything—just smaller. Next to it, there's a cut out where the cat can get in and out without using the door. As the camera pans inside the small space, the cat-print wallpaper really shines.

    Many of the clip's viewers are seriously impressed with this smart design.

    "As a cat mom, I approve," one person wrote. "My cat is jealous!" another said. "Iconic," another added, and it truly is.

    LR3 Development is known for their custom luxury creations , but this really takes the cake. We're sure the cat that'll be using the room will be over the moon.

    Best And Worst Places To Put Your Cat's Litter Box

    Cats can be finicky at times and this applies to their bathroom area (aka the litter box). ASPCA feline behavior counselor Blair de Jong told PetMD that litter box location matters. Look for areas that are private, quiet, and easy to reach, ideally where your cat "spends the most time."

    While pet parents might put the box somewhere out of sight to keep the smell at bay, if it's too out far away, they'll be less likely to use it. Likewise, if you put the box in an area there's too much noise or traffic, your cat may avoid it at all costs.

    The site suggests putting the box in "a low-traffic area away from food and water bowls," adding to be sure there's adequate lighting for your cat to see. It should be quiet and comfortable.

    As always, it's important to know your cat's preferences and their mobility when determining where to put the box, but if you can have a custom creation like the cat room above, go for it! YOLO!
