ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a clumpable animal litter mixture having about 5 to 50 weight percent bentonite, about 0.1 to 25 weight percent gum-containing clumping agent and balance filler particulate. The gum-containing clumping agent is formed from a plant selected from the group consisting of the Plantago and Cydonia families. The clumpable animal litter mixture is pourable into a litter box and agglomerates into a clump upon contact with urine. The clump of the agglomerated bentonite, gum-containing clumping agent, filler particulate and urine is capable of removal with a perforated scoop after as little as one minute of formation. The clumpable mixture is formed by introducing the gum-containing clumping agent into a foam. The gum-containing mixture is mixed into the foam to distribute the clumping agent throughout the foam. The mixed gum-containing clumping agent and foam is then added to solid particulate to adhere the gum-containing clumping agent to the solid particulate.
