Claim:
1. Animal toilet sand composed of a plurality of particulates mainly composed of bentonite, wherein: the particulates include smaller diameter particulates of at least 0.8 mm and no greater than 2 mm in grain size, and larger diameter particulates of at least 2 mm and no greater than 10 mm in grain size; both the smaller diameter particulates and the larger diameter particulates comprise sodium bentonite that is mainly composed of bentonite that is mixed with a fragrance and an antimicrobial agent; the larger diameter particulates are particulates granulated to have a columnar shape so that gaps can be generated between the large diameter particulates, the gaps allowing arrangement of the smaller diameter particulates within the gaps; and the particulates include the smaller diameter particulates in a range of at least 25% and no greater than 45% of the larger diameter particulates in ratio by weight.
