<p>The prevention of the odor caused by the action of bacteria on cat urine in a cat litter box (10). The cat litter box has a base and walls and is provided with a sorbtive-desiccant member for the collection of animal urine. Litter is in direct moisture transfer contact with the sorbtive-desiccant member (12). The odor prevention process includes the steps of transferring cat urine directly from granular particles, to the sorbtive-desiccant member, sorbing the urine in a sorbtive-desiccant member having high surface area and high urine sorbency, dispersing the urine quickly in a sorbtive-desiccant member, and evaporating said urine from said high surface area sorbtive-desiccant member through the granular particles. The sorbtive-desiccant member maintains the urine in a medium which subjects the bacteria in the urine to the effects of drying.</p> |
