Zeisloft--Ordinary kitty litter is made of bits of clay, sometimes with an additive. Now, the particles of clay I am sure are harder than brass, however, my guess is that since the clay particles are so small that while they'd give the brass a fine polish, it'd take next to forever, and be dusty as all get out.

But, be my guest--sounds like an interesting experiment. Pls let us know if it works or doesn't, and the cost relative to using other brass polishing media.

BTW, kitty litter works as oil absorbent off the garage floor, and vice versa--oil-dri compounds are the same clay bits. In my area, kitty litter is the cheaper of the 2 so I use that for oil-dri.

I understand that some buyers of C&R weapons where the wood is soaked in cosmoline, use kitty litter to remove the cosmo from the wood: Place the wood with kitty litter in black plastic garbage bag, put in car, and leave car in the hot sun. Change kitty litter when it gets full of cosmo.
