Abstract: A drain stopper for not invoking as much fear in animals as do traditional holed drains when the animals are placed in a sink or tub for bathing. The drain stopper includes an outer housing that has a lower portion and a peripheral sidewall that extends from the lower portion. The outer housing is adapted for insertion in a drain hole. The peripheral sidewall of the outer housing has a plurality of slots extending through it. A lid is coupled to the outer housing. The lid has an upper surface which is textured for helping reduce slipping of skin along the lid. A generally round screen portion is disposed between the lower portion of the outer housing and an inner sidewall of the lid.
