  • Cat litter collection device
    Patent number: 5615638
    Abstract: An improved cat litter collection device comprising a base unit having an open top, whereby the base unit sits upon a flat horizontal surface. A litter pan fits into the open top of the base unit. A cat can stand upon the base unit and deposit urine and feces directly into the litter pan without having to step into the litter pan. This prevents the cat from tracking unwanted litter and feces residue to other areas that are remote from the base unit.
