1. A disposable commode for animals comprising:

  • (a) a six-sided structure having a bottom wall, four side walls and an articulating top wall which is attached to one of the side walls and which may be rotated between a closed position and an open position;

    (b) a sealing means for sealing the six-sided structure when the articulating top wall is in the closed position so as to substantially retain a litter material and animal waste within the six-sided structure; and

    (c) a height extender which is positioned inside of the six-sided structure, the height extender having four walls which are adjacent to the four walls of the six-sided structure when the height extender is positioned inside of the six-sided structure, and having an articulating extension flap associated with each of the walls of the height extender which, rotates from a folded horizontal position to an extended vertical position such that the height of the side walls of the six-sided structure is sufficiently extended by the extension flaps to substantially retain a litter material within the commode when in use by an animal and such that when the flaps are rotated to the folded horizontal position the height extender is retained within the six-sided structure when the articulating top wall is in the closed position, and each of the extension flaps being connected at their edges to form corners which reverse inward upon themselves when the extension flaps are in the folded horizontal position.
