  • Patent number: 5630377
    Abstract: A disposable pet toilet assembly comprising an absorbent material which is deployed in a plurality of strips which are bundled together and caused to stand upright and arrayed to touch each other discontinuously so as to develop friction and therefore provide a soft resilient grasslike texture attractive to animals. In its preferred embodiment, the strips are further attached to an absorbent base sheet and a liquid impermeable membrane liner which prevents soiling and provides a wrapping for the absorbent material for easy disposal. The assembly is designed to be used with a conventional kitty litter box or by itself as a portable and disposable toilet assembly for travelling with a pet.
