Abstract: A method of manufacturing a stainless steel animal waste and cat waste receptacle comprising: fully laser cutting through the outlines of the vertical wall from at least 1.2 mm gauge 300 Series Austenitic stainless steel plate; fully laser cutting through the outline of the round bottom; partially laser cutting through the outlines of the U-shape entryway; rolling the vertical wall cutout into a cylinder form; rolling the edge of the round bottom to create a round circumferential edge between the vertical wall and round bottom; longitudinal-seam welding the seam of the cylinder vertical wall to join the opposite vertical edge of the cylinder form; circumference-seam welding the round bottom to the cylinder vertical wall to attach the round bottom to the cylindrical vertical wall; milling the interior and exterior; removing the U-shaped entryway and handle openings; and deburring the edges of the top, U-shaped entryway and handle openings.

Abstract: An animal litter device has a container. The container has a floor. A sidewall extends straight up from the floor forming an open top area. A rounded edge is formed at an intersection of the floor and sidewall. The rounded edge prevents a buildup of materials stored in the animal litter device. A “U” shaped opening is formed in the sidewall in a front area of the animal liter device. The floor and sidewalls are formed of stainless steel.
