Abstract
The litter box enclosure is an inexpensive protective cover for a litter box. It protects nearby walls and floors from damage due to splattered urine and feces. A perforated portion of the top of the enclosure can be detached to provide a mat for added floor protection in front of the enclosure. Additional perforations allow areas on the sides of the enclosure to be removed for the purpose of allowing light into the enclosure.
