ABSTRACT:
A base12supports small disposable containers18in an array. Each container holds a portion of litter20. Containers are preferably transparent or translucent. In preferred embodiments a hinged grille14assists in the locating of containers within the base and serves to conceal the upper rims of the containers. A containment rim16is optionally provided for better keeping litter within the box. Container may be reused, or sealed with a snap-on lid26and disposed of without cleaning. Veterinary urine samples can be collected at home without stress to the cats. Amount of urine can also be determined even when litter has absorbed it completely by weighing the individual used container before and after soiling.
