With catboxes, the rule is N+1. Decent litter, ventilation and proper placement and this is all a non-issue.

Three cats with only three boxes was tenuous at best, but since they were close enough to the office that I could tell at the first hint of needing cleaned, they were also the cleanest damned cat boxes in all of Contra Costa County.

I installed a restaurant grill grade exhaust fan along with a a cat door in my garage and put all the boxes out there. The fan was powerful enough to create a negative pressure to keep all the smell out.
Other than a humorous, pneumatic like “thuoomp” noise when the fat one went through the door, and a slight increase in my electric bill, it worked great.

That’s a wonderful idea.

Yea, it's one thing I miss in my new house.
My new garage is bigger, but I have yet to devise a way to subdivide it to keep the cats out of most of it. I really didn't use my other garage day in/day out, so it didn't really matter.
My idea was to frame up part of the garage and screen it in, with a sliding screen door, making a sort of airlock, but honestly, I need a bunch of tools I don't have and more motivation that I typically possess.

My Dad and stepmom have 6 indoor, which yields 7 boxe
My best friend did roughly the same thing with his garage, but did it with a dust handler to make room for his shop. He makes custom guitars as a hobby.

One thing I did do was trick out a room for my workshop. Two long workbenches, a couple of those big rolling toolboxes, triple DC power supplies, sweet wireless oscilloscope, signal generator, soldering re-work station, 3D printer my GF bought me for my birthday, ham radio setup....the works. I scored a vintage craftsman toolbox from the 60s for my delicate tools that was just the right size. The only thing I'm still wrenching on is the PC setup so I can run my HP 7574A pen plotter for drawings.
Even ordinary dust IS a PITA though. I've got a HEPA cleaner in the room to handle it, but it still gets everywhere.

I’m still trying to figure out if it’s creepier when my dog stares at me while she’s pooping or when she stares at me while I poop.
