.............They're storage boxes. Some are very large with
shallow sides, made to be stuffed under a bed. Check out dollar
stores and discount places.

I like that 40 x 20 inch one with the latching cover. (the 67 quart
one for under the bed storage) I think I could get a small air pump
or fan and vent it to the outside through a vacuum cleaner hose or
similar duct pipe. If the air motion was slow enough so it didn't
spook the cats..... I could use a low wattage muffin fan. below 15
watts they are pretty quiet.....

if you like pushing all your heated/conditioned air outside. sounds
like a large cost. perhaps you can get something that kicks on 60
seconds after use for a couple of minutes and then shuts off.

friend of mine moved her litter boxes to the garage, cut a hole in the
wall and installed a flap door. the garage had a large doghouse
fronted to the flap door and the doghouse door enlarged to match the
flap door, and the roof lifted off.

this moved the odor and dust out of the house, and the garbage can was
next to the doghouse so it was easy to keep clean. if necessary, the
doghouse can be hosed out as the water drains down the driveway.

Yes. The garage is a good idea. My cats are all outside cats, and one of
their escape routes is through a cat door into the garage, and then through
a cat door through the big garage door (when it is down) to the driveway. I
could just put the litter box next to the garbage can in the garage. Of
course, my car would smell like cat pee, but what the hell......
