A litter box assembly comprising an open base portion having a litter holding wing portion extending upwardly therefrom and operatively associated therewith and a removable sifting device disposed therein beneath a layer of loose litter material disposed thereupon. The sifting device is removable from the base portion to remove clumped and fecal matter therefrom while permitting loose litter material to pass therethrough. The assembly is readily restored to a clean and ready for use condition by rotating the assembly onto the first and second wall portions of the wing portion whereupon in response to gravitational forces, the loose granular litter material flows into the wing portion and the sifting device is placed in the bottom of the base portion which is then recovered with the loose granular material by rotating the assembly from its position on the wall portions of the wing portion to an at-rest position on said base portion.

A litter box assembly comprising: a substantially rectangular, open base portion having a bottom seating surface; a litter holding means attached to said base portion at one end thereof; and a removable sifting device having a sifting surface, said sifting device being operatively disposed flat within said base portion such that said sifting surface is in surface-to-surface engagement with said base portion, said litter holding means including a plurality of end walls attached to and disposed at preselected angles relative to each other cumulatively summing to less than 270°to provide at least one alternative seating surface for said litter box assembly, said litter holding means further having a first side wall and a second side wall attached to each of said plurality of end walls such that said first side wall and said second side wall are in spaced generally parallel relationship to each other and define with said plurality of end walls a compartment for temporarily receiving and holding litter therein whereby said litter is movable into said litter holding means from said open base portion when said litter box assembly is rotated to be consecutively seated respectively on each of said plurality of end walls whereupon said litter is transferred completely into said litter holding means from said open base portion and said bottom seating surface is left completely free of litter to facilitate the reinsertion of said sifting device into said base portion.
