Abstract
The present invention provides improved systems for maintaining a litter box and removing used litter. The systems provide a raised surface for a litter box that is accessible to a cat; easier to access for cleaning; and provides storage for litter and associated supplies. When not being cleaned, the litter box is hidden from view. Advantageously, the system has a furniture-like appearance so it can be placed in a variety of interior spaces within a home without detracting from the décor.
