How do I check ventilation in a litter cabinet?

Check ventilation openings by locating them on the actual product design and considering whether they remain clear in the cabinet's intended position. A diagram or photograph should show where air can move through the enclosure; do not assume decorative gaps provide a specified ventilation performance. Ask the seller to explain any unclear features. Placing the cabinet tightly against walls or covering openings with stored items may change how the enclosure functions.

Inside, the tray and any liner should not block the available openings either. Ventilation is not a substitute for prompt scooping and regular cleaning, and added fragrance does not solve a poorly maintained or uncomfortable setup. Observe the interior when servicing the tray and assess whether moisture or odour is accumulating. If the design requires modifications to become workable, reconsider the product rather than drilling or cutting it without guidance and potentially weakening the structure.

Compare the empty product diagram with your planned installed layout. An opening visible in the listing may face a wall in your room; ventilation needs to remain unobstructed after the cabinet is furnished and placed, not only before assembly.
