What is the correct name for gravely type cat litters?


What would it be classed as? You know the type I mean, the cheaper kind that looks like wee stones and doesn't really absorb, clump, deodour or do anything apart from provide the cats with somewhere to go?

Obviously there is paper based, wood based, clay based, hygenic types, is there actually a technical term for the gravely type? Is it something really obvious I haven't thought of?

I've never seen that kind here, Random...I've always used the clay type.

I'd say Fullers Earth. The best ones I've used were the paper based ones to be honest.

Some gravely litters do clump. I have used 'Clean Paws' for years, (well not personally!!) but have discovered a better clumping cat litter, much lighter, organic, smells nice and cheaper too! Will have a look at the name when I go downstairs and let you know!
