ABSTRACT:
A composition for a clumping animal litter forms agglomerates upon contact with relatively small amounts of an aqueous liquid, such as an animal body fluid, yet rapidly disperses upon disposal in a household plumbing system to produce only non-swelling clay particles and biodegradable end products. The animal litter composition is substantially dust-free, and can be safely ingested by pets. The composition includes non-swelling clay and/or diatomaceous earth particles and a galactomannan gum that has been distributed in a non-toxic liquid vehicle on the surface of the free-flowing clay particles. The galactomannan gum may be a guar gum or a locust bean gum, or an ether derivative of guar gum or locust bean gum. The animal litter composition may also include borax, xanthan gum, a carrageenan gum, or an alginate.
