ABSTRACT:
A pet animal odor absorbing mat comprising a mat or pad formed of a fibrous material, such as a cellulosic material, and which is integrally incorporated with a zeolite mineral during the manufacture of the mat. The pad or mat is primarily based on the cellulosic or other fibrous material such as for example, wood fiber. The wood fibers are mixed with a binding agent such as an acrylic latex or other animal non-toxic binder, and the zeolite while in somewhat of a semi-viscous and semi-liquid state and then allowed to harden. The mat is highly effective for use as a bottom layer in cat litter boxes to absorb both urine or other wetness and highly effective, in literally entrapping odors, such as those odors arising from pet animals. The mat thereupon simultaneously releases oxygen. This type of mineral has been found to be particularly effective in removing those odors arising both from the animal urine, as well as other animal excreta.
