Abstract:
1. A litter for cats and small animals, the litter comprising: a mixture of dried material of plant origin and an auxiliary agent to promote clumping of the mixture upon addition of moisture; wherein the dried material of plant origin is present in a particle size range in which diameters of about 80% of the particles by mass amount to between more than about 0 μm and less than about 1000 μm; wherein a mass cumulative distribution of the particle size distribution is at least in the range of between about 50 μm and 1000 μm greater than an integrated statistical Gaussian distribution, wherein the Gaussian distribution is a Gaussian normal distribution with a mean of about 100 μm and a standard deviation of about 800 μm, and wherein the particle size distribution deviates from this statistical Gaussian distribution by more than about 10%.
