Abstract

A plurality of self-contained feline litter boxes is housed in stacked relation within a container having peripheral upright walls. Each litter box includes a removable top cover which, when withdrawn, exposes the contained litter material. As each litter box becomes soiled, the box is removed from the container and disposed of. The cover of the subjacent box is then removed, making fresh litter material available. The upstanding walls prevent any litter material from being scattered outside the container by the feline user.
