The present invention is a cylindrical litter box with a litter pan and a lid, which is removably attached to the litter pan. The litter pan comprises of a body having a circular base, a cylindrical side wall that is joint at its bottom end to the circular base. The cylindrical pan includes an open top that is defined by a peripheral lip. The open top end includes a double brim: an outer brim dedicated to securely support the lid, an inner brim to support a clutch and secure a bag, and a cavity separating the two brims. An especially designed bag that can be rolled open is attached from its open end to the inner brim and lines the pan. The rolled part of the bag is secured inside the cavity in between the inner and outer brims.

Exemplary embodiments of a pet toilet are provided. A pet toilet is provided having a base, a standing surface provided on the base configured to allow a pet to stand on the standing surface, a first flush mechanism to provide water for flushing the standing surface, a rim tube connected to the first flush mechanism configured to provide water from the first flush mechanism to the standing surface, and at least one water outlet disposed on the rim tube for providing water from the first flush mechanism to the standing surface. The flush mechanism can be an automatic flush mechanism triggered by one or more motion sensors. The standing surface can have a concave surface.

A pet waste station with pet training features is disclosed. The waste station may include a turf surface and a urine collection funnel for channeling urine into disposable absorbing pads. The pads may be placed in a drawer beneath the funnel, allowing easy removal and replacement of the drawer. Odor control may include a compartment for deodorizers or other air fresheners. A sensor may be provided to activate one or more positive reinforcement rewards when the pet successfully urinates in the waste station, including dispensing of an edible treat and/or playing of an audio snippet, such as an owner's voice praising the pet.

A system for detecting at least one pathology of a cat, said system being intended to be mounted in the vicinity of a cat litter and comprising at least one gas sensor configured to measure the amount of at least one gas representing a pathology of a cat, at least one alarm component configured to emit an alarm, and at least one electronic unit configured to activate the alarm component if the amount of measured gas is greater than a predetermined threshold.

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.

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 pet toilet (1A) of the present invention is provided with a footing-constituting member [2 (20, 21, 22)] constituting a footing for a pet conducting an excreting action and a frame (3) surrounding the footing-constituting member 2 and rectangular in a plan view. The frame (3) is configured so as to be foldable by folding one set of opposite sides (31, 31) of two sets of opposite sides constituting the frame such that central portions thereof in a lengthwise direction of the one set are directed inward of the frame. The footing-constituting member (2) is supported by supporting bodies (32) projecting from inner circumferential faces (3B) of the frame (3) inward of the frame (3) from a lower side of the footing-constituting member. The supporting bodies (32) are composed of portions of sides (30, 31) constituting the frame (3), are arranged to be approximately flush with inner circumferential faces (3B) of the frame (3) without projecting the inner circumferential faces (3B) to be put in a stored state during nonuse, and are caused to project inward of the frame (3) to be put in use state during use.

A window-mounted pet litter housing is described. The housing is equipped with at least one door, a front opening, a transparent rear panel, a ceiling, a floor, and at least one window anchor mount. The front opening facilitates access to the housing by the pet. The interior of the housing provides adequate space for the pet litter box, as well as space for the pet to lie down and peer through the transparent rear panel. Vented louvers are disposed in the left wall and right wall which provide ventilation while preventing rain and snow from entering the housing. A mounting plate present in the preferred embodiment expedites and facilitates secure installation of the housing from inside the structure equipped with the window.

Provided is a water absorbent sheet retaining mat which can retain a water absorbent sheet easily and surely. A water absorbent sheet retaining mat for retaining a water absorbent sheet having a first polygonal contour, includes: a mat member having a second polygonal contour defined by mutually opposing a first main plane and a second main plane; and at least one retaining member having a slit member including at least one slit formed in a top surface at a first predetermined height from the second main plane for accepting a part of perimeter of the water absorbent sheet being inserted therein.

The present invention provides improved systems for maintaining a litter box and removing used litter. The systems provide a raised surface for a litter box that is accessible to a cat; easier to access for cleaning; and provides storage for litter and associated supplies. When not being cleaned, the litter box is hidden from view. Advantageously, the system has a furniture-like appearance so it can be placed in a variety of interior spaces within a home without detracting from the décor.
