PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide animal litter that is less liable to scatter and in which the depth of the solids is less liable to increase when a liquid such as urine is absorbed.SOLUTION: Animal litter includes a plurality of particulates having water absorbency, in which the particulates includes long grains having a granularity of 4 mm or more and less than 10 mm, and a length that is greater than the diameter； and short grains having a granularity of 4 mm or more and less than 10 mm, and a length that is no more than the diameter. The long grain includes a core part primarily composed of pulp, and a coating layer containing highly water-absorbent resin and used for coating the core part. The weight percentage of the short grains to the total of the long grains and the short grains is 10% to 50%, inclusive.【課題】尿等の液体を吸収した場合における固まりの深さが深くなりにくく、かつ、飛び散りにくい動物用トイレ砂を提供すること。【解決手段】吸水性を有する複数の粒状物からなる動物用トイレ砂であって、粒状物は、粒度が４ｍｍ以上１０ｍｍ未満で、かつ、長さが直径よりも長い長粒と、粒度が４ｍｍ以上１０ｍｍ未満で、かつ、長さが直径以下の短粒と、を含み、長粒は、パルプを主体として構成される核部と、高吸水性樹脂を含んで構成され核部を被覆する被覆層と、を備え、長粒及び短粒の合計に占める短粒の割合は、重量比で１０％以上５０％以下である。【選択図】なし
