Maybe if a hood was on it, then Rebecca's daughter wouldn't mind it in the bathroom, there's a thought.

I'd just hate to see the little guy relapse!
I do understand about not wanting him to relapse but, trust me on this one, no litterbox in the kitchen. Years ago, when my (then) husband and I were living in base housing (he was in the AF), I had a spare small fridge but no room for it, so I put it in the bathroom, just to store cold drinks, etc. Somehow the base dr. got wind of it and lectured me sternly about all the diseases that we could get from the toilet being too close to the fridge. Then he said "You don't have cats, do you?" At that time, we didn't but he told me about keeping litterboxes away from food, as well. Even your toothbrush should be as far away as possible from the toilet. You can become deathly ill. Don't do it. People first.
