Abstract

An animal toilet suitable for installation indoors or outdoors by connection to a sewer disposal system includes an empty funnel shaped weather proof receptacle large enough for an animal to stand in and relieve himself. In the center of the receptacle over the drain is an upright member protecting same and serving as a urinating pole. A railing barrier circles the receptacle as a safeguard to pedestrians while serving as a means to lift the entire toilet when necessary. A button operated flushometer which can be made frost free provides pressurized water entering the side of the receptacle in a centripetal direction and the water forms a whirlpool vortex around the receptacle washing and scouring same while draining feces and litter down the sewer disposal system.
