Abstract
An animal litter sand that effectively prevents scattering of particles without increasing the weight or density of the litter sand. The animal litter sand is prepared by forming particles by a step that adds water and mixes together at least a particulate substrate from an inorganic material, a hydraulic solidification material, and a water-soluble thickener.
