ABSTRACT:
A dustless cat litter including a wetting additive to agglomerate dust to litter ingredients and promote hydration. Exemplary wetting additives are water soluble, anionic, nonionic, amphoteric or synthetic surfactants, surfactant mixtures, soaps or synthetic detergents which are applied to the litter ingredients to bind dust and fines contained in the mixtures. A masking fragrance, neutralizer or attractant may be admixed with the surfactant. Exemplary hydrating cat litter or additive mixtures, which solidify upon contact with liquids to encapsulate pet waste matter, include a granulated base material (e.g. whole or coarse ground agricultural grains, pulse crops, clay granules or mixtures thereof), a gluten containing material (e.g. semolina or ground wheat) and may include sodium bicarbonate and/or a carrier bound fragrance. A quantity of surfactant on the order of 1/2 to 7 oz. per 10 pounds litter containing 5% to 10% fines is applied to the ingredients during blending of the mixture.
