Abstract
A collapsible, disposable receptacle for the deposition, containment and disposal of the excrement of house pets is provided, having a frame comprising a tray with a bottom, sides and ends and side panels hingedly attached to the sides of the tray. The frame is enveloped in a flexible sheet adapted to form a collapsible tent supported by free ends of the side panels when extended and spanning therebetween, presenting an opening adjacent to one end of the tray, such that when the side panels are extended an enclosed space is created with an opening for entry and exit of the pet and when the side panels are collapsed the side panels and the flexible sheet form a closure for the tray for storage of unsoiled litter or disposal of soiled litter.
