Abstract: An animal water toy that includes one or more playthings carried by flowing water that entices an animal, such as a cat, into interaction therewith. Playthings can be received in a container having water drinkable by the animal that is propelled by a pump into flowing and carrying the playthings. A portion can be upraised above the water providing an animal perch and/or flow director imparting flow deviations causing unpredictable plaything movement helping enhance animal interaction. A conveyance device can be provided conveying playthings relative to the flow. A pet watering device, e.g., fountain, can include an animal toy constructed in accordance with the present invention and a conveyance device lifting playthings from one level of the watering device to another. In one embodiment, playthings are animal attractant objects that can be buoyant and configured to attract an animal, such as by its color, graphics, indicia, and/or shape.

Abstract: A disposable litter pan that is made of a flexible material, preferably biodegradable non-plastic material, such as thermally pressed cardboard or other paper fiber material treated with an aqueous coating that inhibits degradation of the pan in the presence of fluids. The pan is a generally self-supporting pan structure having two end walls, two sidewalls, and a floor; wherein the floor having several perforations, openings, or orifices sized to allow unused cat litter to be sifted into a retaining pan underneath that can be of the same or imperforate construction. The litter pan folds, allowing the sidewalls to engage in a manner that does not allow litter or excrement to escape. The pan can be retained in the folded condition by an integral latching arrangement that also can serve as a handle.

Abstract: A pet fountain having a housing of snap together construction formed of a base and cover. The base includes a basin in which an integrally formed filter-holding divider is disposed that separates the basin into a return sump and pumping chamber. The cover includes a water holding bowl, an inlet and a drain overlying the return sump that encloses a pump that provides fluid to the bowl via inlet when attached to the base. The cover includes a downwardly extending tube that fluidly registers with a discharge of the pump when attached to the base. In a preferred embodiment, the cover has upper and lower bowls connected by a spillway that conveys overflow from the upper bowl to the lower bowl where it is return via drain to the return sump. The cover can be configured to mate with the housing to enclose the entire basin, pump, and filter.

Abstract: An animal feeding dish having a relatively shallow-food holding bowl that is upraised from the floor by a platform or pedestal so as to minimize whisker contact of an animal eating from the dish. The platform or pedestal can include spaced apart outwardly extending supports that shield interiorly disposed legs carried thereby from food dropped during eating while also preventing tipping of the dish. Such a bowl can be a spherical section having an advantageously large radius of curvature, including relative to bowl width or diameter, which produces a desirably shallow depth bowl that prevents whisker contact. The bottom most portion of the bowl is spaced suitably high relative to overall dish height to more optimally position the mouth of the animal during feeding to further minimize whisker contact.

Abstract translation: 一种动物饲养盘，其具有相对较浅的食物保持碗，其通过平台或基座从地板上升起，以便最小化从盘中吃的动物的晶须接触。 平台或基座可以包括间隔开的向外延伸的支撑件，其保护内部布置的腿，由此防止在进食期间掉落的食物，同时也防止盘的倾翻。 这种碗可以是具有有利的大曲率半径的球形部分，包括相对于碗宽度或直径，其产生防止晶须接触的期望的浅深度碗。 碗的最底部部分相对于整个餐具高度适当地高度间隔，以在进食期间更好地定位动物的口，以进一步减少须晶接触。

Abstract: A fecal matter scooper having a manipulable handle attached to an elongate handle extension from which a pair of opposable scoop jaws extend that define a fecal matter holding scoop bucket when disposed in a closed position and which define a pedestal or base upon which the scooper can be stored in an uprightly standing position when the jaws are disposed in an open pedestal position. When stored uprightly, the handle can be grasped to pick up and maneuver the scooper without the user having to bend over. A biasing arrangement is disposed in operable cooperation with at least one jaw for urging at least one of the jaws toward such an open pedestal position. In a method of operation, at least one of the jaws is perforate enabling sifting unspoiled litter back into a litter box when removing clumped fecal matter or urine from the litter box.
