ABSTRACT:
A pet litter box is disclosed which stores pet litter and automatically dispenses a measured amount of litter to a pet sanitary floor and collects used litter into a storage area within the litter box. The simultaneous removal of used litter from the pet sanitary floor and resupply of fresh litter from the supply is accomplished after filling an upper bin by tipping the box on one end which fills a temporary holding area and at the same time dumps the used litter into second holding area. Return of the box to its normal upright position causes the fresh litter to descend through an inclined chute to the pet sanitary floor and allows the used litter to fall from the second holding area to the collection storage area. The litter box includes a system of inclined baffles which define a generally triangular fresh litter storage volume, two parallel chutes and a generally triangular used litter collection bin. A removable bag or litter collection box fits in the collection bin. A removable cover allows access to both bins and the pet sanitary floor. A pet entrance to the pet sanitary floor is located in a side wall of the litter box.
