The litter sieves and the liner are held securely in place by the securing flange when the securing flange is in the closed position. A litter sieve can include opposing handle ribbons removably disposed in corresponding envelopes on opposite sides of the sieve. The envelopes can include frangible elements that selectively secure the handle ribbons, but that fail upon application of a force so that the ribbons can at least partially exit the envelopes and thereafter used to lift a loaded sieve.

Abstract: Animal bedding materials are described that comprise fragments of paper or other cellulosic materials that are contorted/bent/folded into three dimensional shapes which intertwine. The contorted/bent/folded individual pieces enclose a large void space relative to the surface area of the pieces. Intertwining of the individual pieces further increase the void space. The result is an animal bedding material that quickly captures and immobilizes relatively large amounts of aqueous liquids. Consequently, the surfaces are macroscopically dry to the touch, and less likely to promote skin irritation in animals. This structure, based on contorted/bent/folded intertwined fragments, inherently creates high loft, thus providing underfoot comfort for animals as well as thermal insulation. Manufacture of these engineered bedding materials is partially limited by shipping costs of the bulky raw materials and of the finished products so solutions to these impediments are also described.
