Abstract: Various embodiments of an aquarium and its method of use are disclosed. In some embodiments, the aquarium includes a first container for holding water and fish, plants, and/or other aquatic organism, a second container for collecting dirty water, and a passageway arranged to flush water from the first container to the second container. The passageway is in fluid communication with an outlet of the first container. The second container is arranged to receive the outlet such that fluid flows from the passageway, through the outlet, and into the second container. The outlet may be selectively opened by a user via a valve. Opening the valve causes gravity to flush water and debris from the first container, through the passageway, through the valve and into the second container, where the dirty water can be stored or discarded by disconnecting the second container from the aquarium ad dumping the dirty water.

Abstract: Filtering device (20) to draw water from an aquarium and the like and make water circulate inside, including a container (30) comprising a first housing portion (32) having a first inlet (174) and a second inlet (176) for the entry of water taken from the aquarium into the first housing portion (32) which is able to contain at least one filter for filtering water, further including a flow control device (50) having an entry (60) for taking water from the aquarium and it has two operating positions, a first operating position or filtering position wherein the entry (60) is in communication with the first inlet (174), so that water taken from the aquarium is put into the first housing portion (32), passes through the first inlet (174), is filtered and then is put back into the aquarium, and a second operating position or cleaning position or backwash position, wherein the entry (60) is in communication with the second inlet (176), water taken from the aquarium enters into the first housing portion (32) through

Abstract: Various embodiments of an aquarium and its method of use are disclosed. In some embodiments the aquarium includes a first container including a waste collection area, an outlet, and a conduit fluidly connecting the waste collection area and the outlet. Depending upon the particular embodiment, the aquarium may also include features such as a second container adapted and configured to mate with the first container and receive the outlet such that fluid flows from the waste collection area through the outlet and into the second container when fluid is added above a preselected fluid level. In other related embodiments, the conduit may be formed by first and second portions of the conduit formed in the first container and a separate component.

Abstract: A cat track composed of several track sections when attached end-to-end in other than an endless loop has end caps to retain a ball that rolls freely in the track. Assembled, the sections may be used together with a cat scratcher and/or a cat spa or other animal toy to increase the animal's interest. The sections may be made in different shapes but are capable of being connected end-to-end to define a variety of patterns, either as an endless or open (non-continuous) track.

Abstract: A small animal habitat having a base and removable hood composed of a plurality of lune-shaped hood sections that are movable with respect to one another enabling them to be nested one above another so that the front and/or back of the hood may be opened. Hubs that connect the hood sections together and mount the hood to the base also define passages for the animal in and out of habitat and provide access to other habitat components.

Abstract: A bird cage having a wire grille upper portion and a base assembly. A portion of the base assembly may be made of a light impervious material such as a transparent or translucent material. A plurality of connectors may be used to secure the wire grille panels together. In one embodiment, the footprint of the base assembly is larger than the footprint of the wire grille upper portion of the cage. One or more feeding stations may be provided inside of the cage with a door located on the cage to access the feeding stations. The feeding stations may be arranged in a locked position such that a bird inside the cage cannot tip over or spill the contents of a feeding station.

Abstract: A cat litter box having a base and detachable cover secured to the base. The front portion of the top of the cover and an inwardly and outwardly swinging door attached to the front portion together form a bifolding door for opening the front and a portion of the top of the box for servicing the litter box. The cover when detached from the base nests with the base for storage and shipping the box.
