Litter for cats and small animals made of grained material with low density, cavernous and not absorbent, eliminating the water content of urine by natural evaporation and hindering the development of bad smell by adding bactericides.

摘要

Litter for cats and small animals, made of grains of material of low density, of high specific surface, cavernous and nonabsorbent, removing water from urine by natural evaporation, in combination with a perfume and a bactericide. The perfume masks the characteristic odour of the urine emitted. The bactericide prevents the formation of volatile and malodorous molecules and hence their release with the evaporated water. The quantities of bactericidal substances and of perfumed substances to be employed are small because the material is not absorbent but adsorbent. Pozzolana is given as an example of material which can be employed for producing the litter introduced by the invention.
