We only have one bathroom. We don't have any spare bedrooms. There are no doors between rooms (except bedroom doors) so she can't have an exclusive room. None of the kids claim her so her litter box wouldn't be welcome in any of their bedrooms.

She has been going outside (I think she thinks she is a dog) so she hasn't been using the litter box that much. However, with winter coming on, I have noticed she is starting to use it again.

I am trying to figure out if there is some kind of box with high sides that the dogs couldn't get over, but that the cat wouldn't mind jumping over to get into it. May have to do some googling.

I think mine would. I know they eat the poop when they go outside, but I really don't want it to be readily available to them in the house. I have seen few litter boxes that look like big Rubbermaid containers with a hole cut in the top. I wonder if that would work.

She bought a plastic tote box and cut a hole in the top for her cat to get in. it works real well. And not a lot of litter tracking!

The lady at Petco who was helping us said she has and loves this one. Keeps dogs out and the treads on top clean off the kitty's paws.

Abby used to shovel litter out the door of the regular covered kind. If I didn't clean it up fast enough, eventually someone would just go in the pile outside the door. The Rubbermaid tote is great. I'm on my second one, now. You can always go a little taller too. I think a dog could still easily reach into mine.

We made our own kitty litter box out of a giant plastic box. We keep ours in the basement where the doggies aren't allowed so that isn't our issue -- it's more litter control. The taller plastic storage bin keeps the litter in better. We also use the scoopable, flushable litter, which is easier for us to manage than those dusty kitty litters.
