ABSTRACT:
An enclosed litter container for animals, the container having upper and lower enclosure portions coupled together to provide an enclosed space. The upper enclosure portion has an opening therein to provide access for an animal to the enclosed space. The lower enclosure portion defines a cavity for containing litter. The upper enclosure portion includes a widened rim portion, and the lower enclosure portion includes a mating widened flange portion. Part of the widened rim portion of the upper enclosure portion includes a downwardly convex convolution having a vertex or free extremity extending into the enclosed space. The construction prevents urine from collecting in and/or escaping from the joint between the enclosure portions. A series of downwardly sloped channels in the widened flange portion of the lower enclosure portion help direct the urine toward the litter.
