ABSTRACT:
An economical, disposable, container serving as an indoor toilet facility for household cats and formed of bio-degradable and/or recyclable components is disclosed. The foldable paper container has an internal, moisture impervious, coating and includes an open end, a closed end wall, a top and a bottom wall, and a pair of sidewalls connected to the top, bottom and closed end wall. A barrier wall, integral with the bottom wall, is spaced from the ends of the top and sidewalls and closes a fractional portion of the open end to form an open top compartment within the container. A quantity of granular, absorbent litter material is disposed within the open top compartment. When ready for use the container is unfolded or expanded with end portions of the top and sidewalls being folded back over themselves to assist in maintaining the container in the open position. The granular absorbent material may be (1) housed in a removable pocket formed with the bottom wall of the container, (2) housed in a cardboard box posiitonable within the open top compartment and having a removable protective covering thereon, or (3) poured directly into the open top compartment.
