Abstract
Disclosed is a cat attractant that comprises alfalfa meal and a plant fiber having an acidic pH, such as cranberry fiber. It has been found that the cat attractant can be used to render a cat litter box more attractive to cats, and, it is believed, to thereby mitigate litter aversion syndrome. Also disclosed are an animal litter, a method of preparing an animal litter, and a method of using the cat attractant.
