Abstract:
1. A combination small animal litter box and litter material comprising; a litter box including a first tray having a perforated bottom wall including a plurality of holes, a litter material consisting of intact pellets of a first size which is larger than a dimension of each of the plurality of holes in said first tray, the pellets being formed of a material that disintegrates into smaller particles after absorbing urine and wherein the smaller particles are of a size to pass through the holes in said bottom wall of said first tray, said intact pellets being provided in said first tray, a second tray situated under said first tray for receiving freely falling urine and the smaller particles that have been formed by the disintegration of the intact pellets by absorbing urine and subsequently passed through the perforated bottom wall of said first tray, whereby substantially only urine absorbed smaller particles pass through the holes in the perforated bottom wall of said first tray and into said second tray while remaining intact pellets, which have not absorbed urine to enable them to disintegrate, are too large and are thus prevented from passing through the holes in said first tray.
