Abstract
An animal litter composition comprising 1) a particulate, water absorbent clayey component, e.g., bentonite, containing at least one water-swellable clay mineral, e.g. montmorillonite; and 2) a solid particulate deodorizing additive component comprising sodium bicarbonate (SBC) or potassium bicarbonate (KBC), the particles of which are substantially coated with a mineral oil, mixed with a powdered siliceous material, e.g., expanded perlite, having a bulk density significantly lower than the density of SBC or KBC, the coated particles of SBC or KBC being stably adhered to and agglomerated with the particles of the siliceous material.
