A structure suitable for use by an animal having paws, said container comprising a housing including a base, substantially contiguous outer walls, and a top and defining an interior and an exit located above the base; a divider separating the interior into a litter region and an exit region, the exit region being located above and substantially beside the litter region and immediately below the exit; a foot cleaner surface within the exit region extending substantially from said litter region to the exit, the foot cleaner surface including a ramp portion, adapted to encourage the animal to extend and flex its paws when ascending the ramp; such that in operation, litter may be placed in the litter region for use by the animal, and the animal must walk along the foot cleaner surface ramp portion to exit the container, causing litter to fall from the paws, thereby reducing the amount of litter remaining on the animal's paws upon exiting the container.

The wing of claim 3, wherein the bypass means is a bypass structure affixed to the rear line, having an increased diameter with respect to the rear line. 5. The wing of claim 4, wherein the bypass structure has a leading end radiating outwardly to form a shoulder with a radius and degree of slope which is able to be retained by the first pulley means when the rear line is taut, but which can move through the first pulley means when the line is slack. 6. The wing of claim 5, wherein the bypass structure has a trailing end shaped as a tapered end narrowing from the shoulder. 7. The wing of claim 4, further characterised in that it comprises a second pulley means located adjacent the front portion of the wing tip, the rear line running from the connection point with the front line, through the second pulley means, then through the first pulley means.
