What's this then?

So! I've just been to Pets At Home for some new litter (grew bored of the cat s****ing on the rug) and discovered that they have a few new lines for sale. One in particular caught my attention, being the moler clay advocate that I am: £3.50 for 10L of non-clumping, non-scented, clay cat litter. I was intrigued, so I bought some.

Thar she blows:


I was expecting to open the bag to find the good ol' orange grit that is moler clay, but to my surprise I found a white and brown substance.

Yarrrgh!:


Having checked the bag, there is no indication of what it actually is. I'm thinking along the lines of baked bentonite, but I've no way of knowing. I don't have the means to check if it effects pH.

Any geologists out there who can shed some light? Perhaps we have a scent-free and readily available alternative to Tesco cat litter?

Does it go mushy in water? If not ill guinie pig it

It doesn't. Apart from the colour, it's exactly the same as moler clay. When in water, it has a slightly mineraly smell about it, which might suggest it will raise hardness.
