Abstract
A litter material, and the method of manufacture thereof, for deodorizing and absorbing the excreta from animals, and particularly, pet animals. The litter contains a mixture of dried citrus pulp bits and fines of specified sizes which coat the animal feces and absorb urine, respectively. The residual acids and sugars left in the dried pulp serve to neutralize the odor of the excreta.
