I recall reading a while back about a kitty litter that consists of silica gel. Unfortunately, no brand was mentioned (at least, I didn't see a post where the brand was mentioned).
So can anyone tell me the particular manufacturer and brand of the litter to buy? And is it 100% silica gel?
Thanks!
Purina Tidy Cats Crystals, comes in a 3.5lb (1.59kg) container. Ingredients list is silica, deoderizing system.
It is made up of mostly clear silica with some blue crystals as well. The blue crystals also appear to be silica, my guess is they have been treated with the deoderizing system.
Cheers! Tim

Anotehr option is to check out craft shops. They supposedly sell silica gel pretty cheap for drying flowers.

In another life, before teaching I was a research chemist. The silica gel we used had blue crystal-like particles that turned a pink color when the silica gel was in need of drying. Larry
Silica gel ca be had from Lee Valley
The last time this topic came up, I bought some kitty litter with white & blue crystals. Spent a LOT of time picking the blue crystals out of a 2-cup sample.
Soaked them suckers in water and they stayed a pretty blue!
After Googling silica gel, I ended up buying some from a seed company. over the web.
The rest of the kitty litter went toward absorbing oil off the floor around the milling machine. The shop sure smelled sweet.
