An apparatus, capable of functioning as a toilet for pets, and especially for cats. The apparatus mechanically separates animal solid waste and urine saturated litter clump waste from reusable litter during a complete revolution of the apparatus housing. Through rotation of the housing, a sifting member separates solid waste and litter clump waste from litter, the litter is aerated, and the sifting member becomes inclined in order to permit the separated waste to be propelled by gravity into a flexible waste receptacle.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An apparatus that mechanically separates solid waste and litter clumps from litter comprising:a housing having a main opening for passage of an animal and being capable of rotation in a complete revolution,a sifting member that intersects said housing and has two portions: a first portion of said sifting member having openings that allow litter to pass through it but which will not permit passage of solid waste and litter clumps; and a second portion of said sifting member that will not permit passage of litter, anda flexible bag removably connected to said second portion of said sifting member, said bag being positioned to receive waste passing over said second portion of said sifting member,said flexible bag receiving waste when said sifting member achieves, during the rotation of said housing, an inclined orientation so that solid waste and litter clumps, pass over said second portion of said sifting member and into said flexible bag.
