ABSTRACT:
An improved, fast-clumping animal litter which substantially immediately upon wetting with aqueous liquid forms a clump of durable clump strength for removal from the unwetted litter substantially immediately or within hours. The inventive animal litter includes particulate non-swelling clay, swelling clay and starch. A preferred animal litter utilizes pregelatinized corn starch at relatively low amount which surprisingly permits decreasing the amount of swelling clay below the minimum amount conventionally required for autogenous clumping clay litters.
