A kitty water loo includes a main housing, a basin removably seated within the main housing and being configured to contain water therein, a lid positioned onto the main housing above the basin, and a plurality of litter trays arranged in a concentrically stacked configuration and supported by the lid above the basin. The litter trays are configured to contain cat litter therein and further configured to be chronologically removed one-by-one such that the water is progressively exposed in the basin therebelow. The concentrically stacked configuration extends downwardly and inwardly towards the basin.

Claim: 2. The kitty water loo of claim 1 , wherein said main housing is free-standing and portable, and comprises: a central cavity configured to entirely contain said drawer and said reservoir therein; and an outer wall including an aperture configured to slidably receive said drawer along a horizontal bi-directional travel path relative to a central longitudinal axis of said main housing. Claim: 3. The kitty water loo of claim 1 , wherein said main housing has an open top end configured to vertically receive said reservoir seated within said drawer, said drawer having a first friction member slidably and frictionally engaged with a second friction member of said main housing. Claim: 4. The kitty water loo of claim 3 , wherein said lid has a circular shape provided with a central aperture vertically aligned along a central longitudinal axis of said main housing; wherein an outer peripheral edge of said lid is supported about said open top end of said main housing. Claim: 5. The kitty water loo of claim 1 , wherein said litter trays comprise: a first litter tray being concentrically seated directly on said lid and having a first central opening vertically aligned above said reservoir. Claim: 6. The kitty water loo of claim 5 , wherein said litter trays further comprise: a second litter tray being concentrically seated directly on said first litter tray and having a second central opening vertically aligned above said reservoir. Claim: 7. The kitty water loo of claim 6 , wherein said litter trays further comprise: a third litter tray being concentrically seated directly on said second litter tray and having a third central opening vertically aligned above said reservoir. Claim: 8. The kitty water loo of claim 7 , wherein said litter trays further comprise: a fourth litter tray being concentrically seated directly on said third litter tray and having a fourth central opening vertically aligned above said reservoir. Claim: 9. The kitty water loo of claim 8 , wherein said litter trays further comprise: a fifth litter tray being concentrically seated directly said fourth litter tray and having a solid bottom surface vertically aligned above said reservoir. Claim: 10. A kitty water loo for self-training a cat to potty in water, comprising: a main housing; a basin removably seated within said main housing and being configured to contain water therein; a lid removably positioned onto said main housing above said basin; and a plurality of litter trays adjustably arranged in a concentrically stacked configuration and supported by said lid above said basin; wherein said litter trays are configured to contain cat litter therein and further configured to be chronologically removed one-by-one such that the water is progressively exposed in said basin therebelow; wherein said concentrically stacked configuration extends downwardly and inwardly towards said basin; wherein said basin includes at least one of a drawer and a reservoir. Claim: 11. The kitty water loo of claim 10 , wherein said main housing is free-standing and portable, and comprises: a central cavity configured to entirely contain said drawer and said reservoir therein; and an outer wall including an aperture configured to slidably receive said drawer along a horizontal bi-directional travel path relative to a central longitudinal axis of said main housing. Claim: 12. The kitty water loo of claim 10 , wherein said main housing has an open top end configured to vertically receive said reservoir seated within said drawer, said drawer having a first friction member slidably and frictionally engaged with a second friction member of said main housing. Claim: 13. The kitty water loo of claim 12 , wherein said lid has a circular shape provided with a central aperture vertically aligned along a central longitudinal axis of said main housing; wherein an outer peripheral edge of said lid is supported about said open top end of said main housing. Claim: 14. The kitty water loo of claim 10 , wherein said litter trays comprise: a first litter tray being concentrically seated directly on said lid and having a first central opening vertically aligned above said reservoir. Claim: 15. The kitty water loo of claim 14 , wherein said litter trays further comprise: a second litter tray being concentrically seated directly on said first litter tray and having a second central opening vertically aligned above said reservoir. Claim: 16. The kitty water loo of claim 15 , wherein said litter trays further comprise: a third litter tray being concentrically seated directly on said second litter tray and having a third central opening vertically aligned above said reservoir. Claim: 17. The kitty water loo of claim 16 , wherein said litter trays further comprise: a fourth litter tray being concentrically seated directly on said third litter tray and having a fourth central opening vertically aligned above said reservoir. Claim: 18. The kitty water loo of claim 17 , wherein said litter trays further comprise: a fifth litter tray being concentrically seated directly said fourth litter tray and having a solid bottom surface vertically aligned above said reservoir.
