ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for partially automating the placement of litter bags in animal litter pans. The apparatus uses two pivoted arms over the tops of which the upper portion of a litter bag may be folded when the arms are extended upwardly. The arms are then pivoted downwardly to spread out the litter bag either in a litter pan or upon the base upon which the pivoted arms, which operate in a scissors action, are pivoted. Thus the apparatus also provides a means for complete elimination of an animal litter pan. Litter may be placed within the litter bag either before it is folded over the pivot arms or after. When the litter arrangement has been used by the animal to an extent such that it should be replaced, the pivot arms are extended upwardly and the bag is removed and secured at the top after which is can be disposed of in the normal manner.
