ABSTRACT:
A readily cleanable litter cleaning system for removing fecal matter from a litter box includes a container having substantially identical front and rear panels joined by substantially identical side panels and a bottom panel. The container has a rectangular cross-section defining an open top and a liquid storage region. The container has a predetermined width along the front and rear panels and a predetermined depth along the side panels. The container includes at least one projection extending from at least one of the panels into the liquid storage region. The projection terminates in an end in spaced relation from the bottom panel. A top cover is tightly fitted to the container and seals the container open top. The cover defines an opening therein. A scoop for removing the fecal matter from the litter has a blade portion and an elongated handle. The blade portion has a width configured for placement in the container generally parallel to the front and rear panels and for fitting between the side panels. The blade portion is further configured for fitting in the container with the blade resting on the container projections, in spaced relation to the bottom. The scoop handle is configured for extending through the cover opening when the cover is in place on the container to permit manipulating the scoop blade in the liquid in the container.
