Abstract

An absorbent material for house pet animals, includes pulp fibers containing a natural or synthetic polymer and formed in a granular shape; and a solution of an amphoteric polymer having an acidic pH. The solution is added to the pulp fibers.

Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of Application No. 2000-196950, filed Jun. 29, 2000 in Japan, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference.[0002] The present invention relates to a granular absorbent material for use in the treatment of excrements of house pet animals.[0003] As an article for collecting excrements of house pet animals (mainly house cats), there has been used a plastic box in which a granule absorbent material (i.e., a cat litter) capable of absorbing excrements of pets, such as sand and bentonite, is provided. When absorbs urine from a pet (e.g., a cat), such a granule absorbent material clumps so that the urine-absorbing granules are closely contact with each other. Only the clumps of the absorbent material resulting from the urine-absorption are then removed and wasted from the box.[0004] However, a pet owner cannot always remove the clumped absorbent material immediately after his pet defects or urinates. As a result, a problem of p...
