Abstract
A litter box apparatus for small animals includes an open box and a cover received over the box. The cover includes a hooded opening for permitting animal access to the box, and is supported on the box for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis between a use position in which the cover closes off the box except for the opening so that animals may enter and use the box, and a service position in which the cover exposes the box for servicing. The pivot axis is centrally located over the floor so that the cover rolls about the box between the use and service positions without requiring a substantial amount of additional floor space than that occupied by the box.
