ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to the prevention of the odor caused by the action of bacteria on cat urine in a cat litter box. The cat litter box has a base and walls and is provided with a sorbtive-desiccant member for the collection of animal urine. Litter is in direct moisture transfer contact with the sorbtive- desiccant member. The odor prevention process includes the steps of transferringcat urine directly from granular particles, to the sorbtive-desiccant member, sorb- ing the urine in a sorbtive-desiccant member having high surface area and high urine sorbency, dispersing the urine quickly in said sorbtive-desiccant member, and evaporating said urine from said high surface area sorbtive-desiccant memberthrough the granular particles. The sorbtive-desiccant member maintains the urine in a medium which subjects the bacteria in the urine to the effects of drying. The granular particles are non-absorbent particles having sufficiently large diameter to provide sufficient interparticle spacing to permit free flow of urine from the particles to the sorbtive-desiccant member and the free flow of mois- ture from said sorbtive-desiccant member to the air. The base of the litter box prevents urine from leaving one side of said sorbtive-desiccant member. Thereby the bacteria, which are capable of breaking down cat urine, die or become dor- mant and thus prevent significant odor formation. Page 14
