The odorless animal litter box of the instant invention includes a box-like container capable of locking in place an absorbent pad structure, which includes a protective screening and a moisture impermeable liner. The protective screening is flexible and formed of strands bonded at their interstices, is substantially inert to urine and capable of withstanding the clawing action of an animal such as a cat. The sheet layer of moisture impermeable material has length and width dimensions at least equal to that of the screen. A sorbent pad is positioned between the screen and the moisture impermeable material and the screen is sealed to moisture impermeable material along at least a substantial portion of their peripheral edges.

In combination, a litter device for use with cats and sorbent pad laminate means for the collection of animal urine, said sorbent pad laminate means comprising: (A) a bottom sheet layer of moisture impermeable material, overlying the base of of the device, (B) an intermediate sorbent layer of material having a high sorption capacity for urine, and (C) a top claw resistant screen means, said screen means being a urine permeable, flexible member of material which is substantially inert to urine, formed of strands bonded at their intersections and having sufficient tear strength to withstand the clawing action of a cat and sufficiently small hole size to protect said sorbent layer and said sheet layer of moisture impermeable material from being torn by animal claws, said bottom sheet layer and said top screen means being bonded to each other along at least a substantial portion of their periphery.
