I think diatomeous earth is similar to Fuller's earth, found in some cat

Most Fullers Earth is used in paper manufacture. I am not aware of
its use in cat litter in the UK.

Very little Fuller's Earth (aka bentonite) is used in paper making.
The colour's too dirty for a start. Are you're thinking of kaolin?
Large chunks of Surrey were dug up in the past to provide FE for cat
litter amongst other things, but I think the deposits are mostly
exhausted now.

I second the idea of trying FE on tarry railway sleepers!
