Abstract: A device for transporting and storing solid animal waste collected from a self cleaning kitty litter box and replenishing litter within the box. Replacement litter storage is positioned above the box. A mechanism releases predetermined amounts of litter into the box during cycling of a rake that cleans the box. A collection member has a first position where it receives waste collected by the rake. The collection member is disposed between the storage member and the box and at a second position transfers the waste to the storage member. A drive mechanism is mounted to the collection member moves it between the first position and the second position. The combined members in conjunction with the self cleaning litter box provide a litter box that needs no maintenance over long periods.

Abstract: A device for transporting solid animal waste including a collection member, a drive mechanism, and a storage member. The collection member is orientable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position, the collection member receives the waste therein. The drive mechanism is mounted to the collection member for moving the collection member between the first position and the second position. The storage member receives the waste from the collection member and stores the waste therein, wherein in the second orientation, the collection member is disposed adjacent the storage member and transfers the waste to the storage member for storage therein.

Abstract: A self-cleaning kitty litter box and method for cleaning the litter box are disclosed. The kitty litter box has a removable pan in which kitty litter is placed. A motor and timing device are provided for periodically moving a rake through the kitty litter so to push solid waste to one end of the pan. The rake is then rotated in contact with a stop out of the pan, the rake then moves forward and drops the collected solid waste into a storage tray. The motor and timer allow this process to be periodically repeated without involvement of the cat owner until ultimate disposal of the cat waste is desired.
