Abstract: The invention provides animal litters that have an increased absorption rate and methods of making and using such litters. The animal litters comprise one or more animal litter particles that have been produced by fragmenting extruded animal litter particles that have a film on the surface of the particle that adversely affects the absorption rate. The fragmenting exposes the interior of the extruded animal litter particles, which does not have this film, to the external environment and increases the absorption rate.

Abstract: The disclosure provides comestible play treats that are adapted for contact-responsive, play-inducing movement. The shape of the treats makes them wobbly and prone to rocking, partially rolling and/or spinning when contacted by an animal. Also provided herein are methods of using the comestible play treats to induce play, increase the health and well-being of an animal, maintain ideal body weight, or improve the quality of life of an animal.
