    Abstract: A method of making a non-clay based clumping pet litter can include blending a natural material; compressing the blended natural material into pellets; grinding the pellets into granules; screening the granules to obtain a predetermined size range; and applying functional additives to the sized granules. The functional additives can include a clumping agent, mineral oil, and a surfactant. The natural material can be one or more of recycled paper, corrugate, and sawdust. The functional additives can further include a fragrance oil. The clumping agent can be guar gum, and the surfactant can be a polysorbate. In another aspect, a non-clay based clumping pet litter contains granules of compacted natural material enrobed by a coating containing a clumping agent, mineral oil that adheres the clumping agent to the granules, and a surfactant.

    Abstract: Litter boxes are provided that have a tear-away flap on the top and/or the front of the box. The tear-away flap can be pulled outward from the box to form a mat that can provide an entry to the box. Positioning the tear-away flap as a mat can expose a corrugate fluting structure on the tear-away flap. This structure can act as an anti-tracking trap as the cat leaves the box with litter on the paws. An overhang on one or more sides of the box (preferably three sides) can prevent litter from “splashing” out of the box onto the floor. After the pet owner is finished using the litter box, the pet owner can fold the tear-away flap back onto the top of the box to reseal the box to keep the litter in the box for disposal.
