1. An assembly for collection and disposal of feline waste, the assembly comprising: (a) a first, a second, and at least a third upwardly opening vessel, each vessel among said vessels comprising a cardboard sheet having a floor section and a plurality of wall sections, the first, second, and at least third upwardly opening vessels' peripheral walls comprising said pluralities of wall sections, each of said vessels being configured substantially identically with each other vessel and each vessel's peripheral wall having an upper edge and an upwardly opening door notch;(b) mirroring releasable attaching means connected operatively to the first, second, and at least third upwardly opening vessels, the mirroring releasable attaching means being adapted for, upon mirroring positioning with respect to each other of any pair of vessels among the first, second, and at least third upwardly opening vessels, holding the paired vessels in a pet house configuration;(c) a plurality of retainer leaves having lateral and oppositely lateral surfaces, each retainer leaf's lateral and oppositely lateral surfaces facing away from each other and being positioned on opposite sides of said each retainer leaf, each retainer leaf among the plurality of retainer leaves being connected operatively to one of the wall sections among the plurality of wall sections; and(d) a plurality of “U” shaped die cut, attachment leaf, hook tab, and hook slot combinations, each of said combinations' “U” shaped die cuts extending from one of the retainer leaves' lateral surfaces to the oppositely lateral surface of said one of the retainer leaves, each of said combinations' hook tabs comprising a “C” slot within one of the attachment leaves, and each of said combination's hook tabs being extendable from said each combination's attachment leaf, each of said combinations' attachment leaves being extendable from the upper edge of one of the peripheral walls among the first, second, and at least third upwardly opening vessels' peripheral walls for engagement of said each attachment leaf's hook tab with a mirroring peripheral wall among the first, second, and at least third upwardly opening vessel's peripheral walls. 2. The assembly of claim 1 wherein, upon mirroring positioning of a pair of the vessels, pairs of combinations among the attachment leaf, hook tab, and hook receiving slot combinations become substantially vertically aligned for engagements of the hook tabs of one vessel among the pair with the hook receiving slots of the other vessel among the pair. 3. The assembly of claim 2 wherein, upon the mirroring positioning of the pair of vessels among the first, second, and at least third upwardly opening vessels, a pair of the upwardly opening door notches combine to define a doorway. 4. The assembly of claim 3 wherein each floor section comprises a water resistant coating. 5. The assembly of claim 3 wherein the peripheral walls' wall section pluralities are arranged in longitudinally and laterally opposing pairs, and wherein the longitudinally opposing wall section pairs are adapted for collapsing inwardly and for drawing together laterally opposing wall section pairs. 6. The assembly of claim 5 wherein the mirroring releasable attaching means are further adapted for extension from upper ends of the laterally opposing wall pairs, said further adaptation configuring the mirroring releasable attaching means for engagement with each other upon the drawing together of the laterally opposing wall section pairs. 7. The assembly of claim 6 wherein the longitudinal wall sections' adaptations for collapsing inwardly comprise scored fold lines. 8. The assembly of claim 1 wherein upon the mirroring positioning of the upwardly opening vessel pair, and upon an accumulation of feline waste within a lowermost vessel among said vessel pair, the mirroring releasable attaching means may release said lowermost vessel for disposal, and wherein a third vessel among the at least first, second, and third upwardly opening vessels may be mirroringly positioned with respect to the uppermost vessel among said pair to re-define the pet house configuration.
