Abstract

A pet bedpan includes a box body, and a cat litter area and a cat excrement area are arranged in the box body. A collection bin for collecting cat excrement is mounted in the cat excrement area, a bin lid capable of flipping up and down is arranged in the cat excrement area, and a movable shaft that moves back and forth is arranged in the cat litter area. A cleaning rake is arranged on the movable shaft, and two guide rail grooves are formed on an inner side wall of the box body to direct the movement of the movable shaft. The movable shaft drives the cleaning rake to move along the guide rail grooves, such that the cleaning rake separates the cat litter and the cat excrement in the cat litter area.
