ABSTRACT:
An animal litter capable of agglomerating in the presence of animal urine so that the wetted litter can readily be separated and removed from unwetted litter, comprises clay granules which have, exposed on their surfaces, a layer or pregelatinized, cationic starch which is confined to the surfaces of the granules; the starch comprising between 0.2% and 2% of the weight of the litter. The layer of starch is effective to cause agglomeration of adjacent granules when wetted, but is such that the agglomerated granules will readily disagglomerate when placed in water, to allow flushability.
