what makes cat litter clump?

The presence of clays like bentonite causes cat litter to clump when wet.

The presence of clays like bentonite causes cat litter to clump when wet.

Cat litter clumps primarily due to the inclusion of minerals like bentonite clay, which has natural absorbent and swelling properties. When exposed to moisture, bentonite particles expand and bind together, forming solid clumps that can be easily scooped out. This feature is especially beneficial for maintaining a clean litter box and controlling odors. Some modern cat litters also use other natural materials like corn, wheat, or tofu, which have inherent binding properties and can create clumps, though often less firmly than clay-based options. The effectiveness of clumping depends on both the material type and the size of the litter granules.
