The invention relates to an insect breeding device. The insect breeding device comprising at least one insect cage (101) having a top wall (16A) with a non-curved and flat surface or having a top wall with a concave inner surface (seen from the interior of the insect cage); a bin (120) for holding a cleaning liquid; a first pipe (3) connected to the bin for receiving the cleaning liquid, wherein the pipe is entering the at least one insect cage through a first opening (11); a nozzle (14), coupled to the first pipe, positioned inside the at least one insect cage configured to deliver the cleaning liquid to the interior of the at least one insect cage; and a second pipe (4), coupled to a second opening (12), different from the first opening and located in the bottom wall of the cage and/or located in a side wall of the cage, in the side wall portion where the bottom wall and said side wall intersect, in the at least one insect cage, configured to drain the cleaning liquid and the debris remaining from farming insects in the cage, from the at least one insect cage.

A vehicle for performing an animal-related operation, in particular for use with cows, is delimited by an outer side. The vehicle includes an electrical shock device for emitting an electrical shock to an animal. The shock device includes at least one pair of elongate, electrically conductive strips which run substantially parallel to each other so as to leave clear an electrically insulating intermediate space in between and which extend at least along a portion of the outer side of the vehicle. The strips of the or each pair of mutually parallel strips each have a shape including first parts which extend in a first direction which corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the elongate, mutually parallel strips, and including second parts which extend transversely, preferably substantially perpendicularly, with respect to the first direction. The shock device includes an electrical voltage source which is electrically connected to the strips in such a way that an electrically closed circuit is formed when the strips are electrically connected across the intermediate space, such as when both strips are touched by an animal.

An animal litter box is designed for convenient cleaning. An animal leaves waste that generally comprises clumps and fecal material inside or on top of animal litter. A flexible and lift-able tray is immersed in the animal litter. To clean the litter box, the tray is lifted up which strains the pet waste out of the animal litter. The tray is rotated further so the animal waste is conveniently discharged into a waste bag. The tray is returned to position for re-use by rotating the litter box so as to drain the animal litter away from the tray's normal position. The litter box is rotated back to normal position, and the tray and litter then are repositioned into a re-usable litter box.

This invention will provide an elective system for pets to use whenever they want. The system provides a safe clean way for animal waste to join the human waste disposal system without kitty litter or having to walk the animal and scoop poop. The cruelty of making a dog wait till you are home to walk will be ended and something more humane and advanced than scooping on city streets will be available.

A welting device for pets comprises at least one vertical wall for vertically mounting a wetting pad thereon. A wetting device for pets comprises an enclosure defining an opening for pets to enter and exit therefrom and comprising at least one vertical inner surface for vertically mounting a wetting pad thereon. The wetting pad absorbs urine discharged from a pet.

A transport device structured to carry an animal includes a first component having a handle and a second component having a base and at least a first wall. The first component is structured to be located on the second component to form an enclosed region situated generally between the first and second components. The transport device also includes a cushion apparatus situated adjacent at least one of the base and the at least a first wall and a liquid resistance apparatus located on the second component and that is structured to resist penetration of a liquid from an interior region of the transport device to an exterior region of the transport device.

Provided are: a sheet for pets which contains carbon and has a superior appearance, and a method of manufacturing the sheet for pets. A sheet for pets is provided with a liquid-permeable front surface sheet, a liquid-impermeable back surface sheet, an absorbent layer that contains carbon and organic acid and is positioned between the front surface sheet and the back surface sheet, and a front surface-side liquid-permeable sheet that is black and is positioned on the front surface sheet-side of the absorbent layer. The front surface-side liquid-permeable sheet is preferably formed from pulp fibers that have been dyed black.

A cat litter holding and cleaning assembly includes a housing having a top wall, a bottom wall and a perimeter wall extending between the top and bottom walls. The perimeter wall includes a front side, back side, first lateral side and second lateral side. The front side has an opening extending therethrough for a cat to access an interior of the housing. A filter member is removably mounted in the housing. The filter member includes a perimeter frame bounding an interior area. A filter grid is mounted to the perimeter frame and traverses the interior area. The perimeter frame is extendable across the interior of the housing from the first lateral side to the second side. Litter positioned in the housing flows through the filter grid such that waste material in the litter remains on the filter grid when the housing is inverted.
