Multi purpose house for pets

A structure suitable for use by an animal having paws, said container comprising:

• a housing including a base, outer walls, and a top and defining an interior and an exit located above said base;
• said housing being convertible between an open position in which said walls are secured to and extend upwardly from said base and said top is releasably secured to an upper portion of said walls;
• and a collapsed position in which said walls are substantially parallel to said base and top;
• a divider removably separating the interior into a litter region and an exit region, said exit region being located above and substantially beside said litter region and below the exit;
• an interior wall removably extending substantially from said top to said divider and defining a doorway between the litter region and the exit region, such that odor release through the exit is reduced and the animal must pass through the doorway to exit the container;
• an adjustable door extensible across the doorway and adjustable for animal size;
• the base, outer walls, top, divider and interior wall being composed of substantially solid sheets of material such that odor release from the container is reduced;
• a grate-type foot cleaner within the exit region extending from said litter region to the exit, said foot cleaner including a ramp portion encouraging the animal to extend and flex its paws to ascend the ramp;
• such that in operation, litter may be placed in the litter region for use by the animal, and the animal must pass through the doorway and walk along the foot cleaner to exit the container, causing litter to fall from the paws to the divider defining the exit region, thereby reducing the amount of litter remaining on the animal's paws upon exiting the container, and the container may be collapsed for storage or shipping and reassembled for use.
