Abstract: Litter boxes are provided that have a tear-away flap on the top and/or the front of the box. The tear-away flap can be pulled outward from the box to form a mat that can provide an entry to the box. Positioning the tear-away flap as a mat can expose a corrugate fluting structure on the tear-away flap. This structure can act as an anti-tracking trap as the cat leaves the box with litter on the paws. An overhang on one or more sides of the box (preferably three sides) can prevent litter from “splashing” out of the box onto the floor. After the pet owner is finished using the litter box, the pet owner can fold the tear-away flap back onto the top of the box to reseal the box to keep the litter in the box for disposal.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are packages for consumer goods that provide additional functionality as an interactive device for encouraging playful interaction with the package contents. In various embodiments, the package includes a lid or top comprising a hollow body defined by a flexible shell, wherein the shell is reversibly deformable or comprises regions that are reversibly deformable, the lid adapted for launching or propelling an item when the item is placed on the shell or on a reversibly deformable region of the shell, wherein when the shell is deformed and thereafter springs back to its undeformed shape, the springing action propels the item away from the lid. Kits and methods for using the interactive packages and particularly the interactive portions of the packages are also disclosed.
