Abstract

The present invention discloses an absorbent composite panel to be laid on a urination tray for pet animals such as cats and dogs, the composite panel comprising a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and a liquid-absorbent core disposed between these two sheets, the absorbent core comprising a plurality of core elements intermittently arranged independently of one another and the top- and backsheets being bonded together over zones defined between each pair of adjacent core elements so that a selected portion of the composite panel may be cut off from the remainder.
