Abstract
A cat litter product is provided made substantially from spent distillers' grain substantially removed of starch and combined with modified starch. The combination of spent distiller's grain and modified starch form particles tending to agglomerate when wetted. In addition, zeolite is added to adsorb and desorb water, thus eliminating and preventing mildew formation, and is included as an emulsifying or foaming agent which functions to inhibit urease enzyme action and to prevent the formation of NH (ammonia), thereby binding and neutralizing annoying and harmful odors associated therewith. further serves to help neutralize feces odor.
