Abstract
A foldable litter box which is convertible from a closed position to an open position to form an enclosed receptacle, includes a base, side walls extending from the base, and end walls also extending from the base and perpendicular to the side walls. The side walls and end walls are connected along common boundaries. Diagonal folding axes are provided on the end walls and on at least one side wall to permit the box to convert from the closed to the open position. A top portion extends from one of the side walls to cover the opening at the top of the receptacle in an overlaying manner. The top may be provided with additional panels to form either a flat or a peaked roof. An aperture is further formed in at least one of the side walls or end walls for permitting access to within the receptacle.
