The cheapest and most common type of kitty litter is Clay. However, there are a variety of other absorbents that have been used including recycled newspapers, popcorn, and silica Gel.

There are also natural litters on the market made from corn, wheat, walnut pine or even recycled newspaper pellets. These litters don't always clump as well as bentonite litter, but are good for those who are concerned with the mining practices needed to produce the bentonite litter.
A third type of kitty litter is the "crystal" cat litter which is made from silica particles (the same stuff you find stuffed in the toe of your new shoes in a little envelope labelled "dessicant-- do not eat".) This type of kitty litter works by dehydrating the waste thus making it not smell.
