providing a litter sifter, said litter sifter having a lower portion having a plurality of circular through-holes, where a distance between any through-hole for three closest adjacent through-holes is equal, and the distance between adjacent through-holes is half of a diameter of each of the plurality of through-holes,
an upper portion coupled to the lower portion, and
a plurality of handles coupled to said upper portion,
introducing a litter material into said litter sifter,
gripping said plurality of handles, and
sifting said litter sifter so that solid matter and clumped litter material are retained in said litter sifter via said plurality of through-holes.
