AnimAll fine-grain bentonite litter, 5 kg is a clumping cat litter made from crushed natural bentonite clay. According to the description, it clumps well on contact with moisture, does not stick to paws and does not need complete replacement. Thanks to its small granules it forms small, firm clumps and is used more economically. No fragrances are used in production, so the litter suits kittens and allergy-prone animals. The manufacturer recommends it for short-haired animals.
What the manufacturer claims
AnimAll focuses on economy and neutrality: fine granules surround moisture more precisely, so the clump stays small and less litter is thrown away when scooping. No fragrance is a plus for cats with a sensitive nose.

Why fine grain is more economical
Fine granules pack more tightly, so urine is absorbed in a small area rather than spreading down and sideways. The clump is compact and firm, so less clean litter is thrown away with it. In practice, a bag lasts longer than coarse bentonite of the same weight.
Long and short coats
The manufacturer recommends fine grain for short-haired cats for a reason: small granules cling to long fur on the paws and "trousers" and get carried around the home. Long-haired cats do better with medium or coarse litter, and the fur around the paws can be trimmed carefully.
How to use it
Pour a 7–10 cm layer gently, not from a height, to raise less dust. Scoop clumps and solids every day with a fine-slotted scoop and top up with fresh litter. Replace everything and wash the tray every 2–4 weeks.
For kittens
Fine, unscented granules suit kittens just learning to use the tray: they enjoy digging in soft sand. But kittens sometimes taste the litter, and clumping bentonite must not be swallowed — watch the kitten for the first few days. If it eats the litter, switch temporarily to a non-clumping type.
Reducing tracking
Put a textured mat in front of the tray and choose a tray with high sides or a covered box so fine granules stay inside. You will still need to vacuum around the litter box more often than with coarse litter.
Disposal
Bentonite must not be flushed — the clay swells and blocks pipes. Put clumps in the bin. Details are in can cat litter be flushed.
Alternatives
If you need a flushable litter, look at tofu litters, and for minimal dust, silica gel litters. Among bentonites there are scented options too, such as Van Cat Vanilla. How to choose — see how to choose cat litter.
Who it suits
The litter suits short-haired cats, kittens and animals with allergies or a sensitive nose — owners who value economical use and no scent. More options are in cat litter.
Verdict
AnimAll fine grain is an unscented clumping bentonite that forms small, firm clumps and is economical to use. The downsides are that fine granules raise dust and get tracked around the home, especially by long-haired cats, bentonite cannot be flushed and the listing barcode is an in-store code.
