Abstract
The present invention relates to a clumping animal litter, particularly a clumping cat litter, comprising a wood-based liquid-absorptive deodorizing agent, a starch-based adhesion agent capable of adhering to the water-absorptive deodorizing agent, a disintegrant and a clumping agent to clump the litters together when they are in contact with the liquid. The cat litter has high deodorizing and absorptive capability, and which is made of natural and environment-friendly materials. In addition, the present invention aims to provide a method for producing such an animal litter.

An animal litter, comprising a wood-based liquid-absorptive deodorizing agent, a starch-based adhesion agent for tackifying the water-absorptive deodorizing agent, a disintegrant and a clumping agent to clump the litters together when they are in contact with the liquid.
A method of manufacturing an animal litter, comprising:
- (1) mixing a wood-based liquid-absorptive deodorizing agent with a starch-based adhesion agent capable of adhering to the liquid-absorptive deodorizing agent to form a mixture at room temperature;
- (2) adding water into the mixture under stirring for 20-30 minutes;
- (3) adding a lubricant, a disintegrant, a clumping agent and a moisturizing agent in order into the mixture;
- (4) stirring the mixture for 20-30 minutes;
- (5) granulating the stirred mixture under sufficient pressure and temperature into litter particles;
- and
- (6) subjecting the litter particles to a drying treatment for 10-15 minutes.
