Baby proofing cat litter/food

Keep distracting baby is all I've managed to do x

Honestly no hack but I just kept saying no, dirty and shaking my head. Then picking her up and moving her away from it and now she will go near it shake her head and move herself away. Ours is an open litter box, for outdoor cats so they do not use it very often. Xx

We have our litter box on a fold out table and the food and water is on a higher night stand

If you’re able to definitely move the litter trays, we moved our indoor cats litter tray into the bathroom. They have hooded litter trays which they can access only through the hole. My cats are pretty good when things are changed and are using the litter tray very well. We’re lucky enough to have all their area in the conservatory, all their food is given to them out there. Then stair gates up so my son can’t access the hallway etc as that’s where their water is x

Get microchip cat bowls that only open when the cat is near. No risk of baby getting in to the food. X

Haven't had baby yet but we have indoor cats and ours have their litter tray in something like this (but theirs is bigger as there's two of them!)

Put it where baby can't access it. In a different room, behind a stair gate, the door facing the wall so baby can't reach in. And just keep redirecting the little one.

I keep my litter tray in the bathroom, baby doesn't have roaming access in there. As for cat food, I keep in the kitchen which has a baby gate so baby doesn't have access either. My now 6yr old regularly found and ate the cat food as it used to be kept in living room or on the window sill, she meows occasionally and enjoys head pats but otherwise is fine.

Thanks all! Love all these ideas and will try some! Placing against the wall is definitely a good one, or we might install a gate. Space is fairly limited so can‘t move it anywhere else but a microchip feeder is a great option too! Thank you!
