Why was kitty litter Invented?
Like many cat owners in 1948 Mrs. Draper kept a pile of sand in the yard that she used to fill her cat's litter box. But the winters in her hometown of Cassopolis, Michigan was cold. Mrs. Draper went to see a neighbo, the Lowes, about her problem. Henry Lowe operated a small business selling industrial absorbents, including sawdust and concrete. His brother, Edward Lowe, suggested she try a product called Fuller's Earth. Fuller's Earth was kiln-dried clay balls that the 27-year old Lowe had been trying to sell unsuccessfully to farmers as a nesting material. Soon Mrs. Draper would use nothing else for her cat's litter box. Ed Lowe figured that Mrs. Draper was not the only cat lover who would benefit by the absorbent clay balls. He filled ten plain brown paper bags with five pounds each of the clay, scribbled the name 'Kitty Litter' on them and paid a visit to his local pet store. Ed Lowe hit the road, hauling his Kitty Litter to pet stores and wholesaling companies. As Ed Lowe built his business, he literally built an industry. He was so successful that his brand of clay, Kitty Litter, became the generic term for his product. His cat litter, with its odor controlling properties and high absorbency, made cats user friendly. No longer did the evening end with the cat being put outside for the night. The cat became an inside animal.
