Package of litter material for cats and other small animals

Abstract

A package of litter for small animals, having two horizontally disposed layers of particulate, liquid absorbent material, the lower layer of which is of relatively light particulate material of organic composition, containing an odor suppressant therein, and the upper layer of which is of relatively heavy particulate material of inorganic composition. The upper layer may have odor suppressant in an amount substantially less than in the lower layer, though normally the upper layer does not contain any substantial amount of odor suppressant material. The litter is normally packaged in a plurality of elongated bag-like containers, joined together at the sides by a frangible web and at the top by a removable header. When the litter is to be used, the top of the container is opened to permit the discharge of the litter from the container into a box when the container is inverted, to form a litter bed of relatively heavy material on the bottom and the relatively coarse or light material containing the odor suppressant on top.
