  • Patent number: 6089188
    Abstract: An animal spraying and scratching property protector that protects an area to be sprayed by blocking the urine from reaching the targeted area. The animal spraying and scratching property protector comprises a splashwall and trough. The splashwall is positioned erect to protect the areas that may be sprayed. The trough is arranged to collect the urine as the urine drips downward along the splashwall after the urine has been sprayed onto the splashwall by an animal such as a cat. The trough is closed at oppositely disposed sidewalls in order to prevent the urine from exiting or otherwise leaking from the sides of the trough. The area targeted for spraying is protected by blocking the urine, thereby, safeguarding the protected areas. The urine can be neatly disposed of, for example, by pouring the urine from the trough into a toilet. The animal spraying and scratching property protector can then be rinsed and replaced for the next spraying instance.
