Actually, it seems you are both right. The original Lowe's Kitty Litter formulation was Fuller's Earth. Surpassing that in popularity has been the newer clumping variety of kitty litter which is made from bentonite.
How bentonite would work for a tippet sink, I dunno, but KP says its a 'go'. I am going to go out and see if the original Lowe's Kitty Litter is still available.

Now this is getting interesting. Here's the rest of the story...
"Ed Lowe (27-old entrepreneur) traveled the country attending cat shows and visiting pet shops in an attempt to move the product.� Cat owners eventually fell in love with the product, and the rest is cat litter history.�
A private investment group, collectively known as Golden Cat, purchased Ed's company for over 200 million dollars plus stock options in 1990.� Ed retired and used part of his fortune to establish the Edward Lowe Foundation to help other entrepreneurs.� Sadly, Ed Lowe passed away on October 4, 1995.�
The success of kitty litter enabled pet owners to keep cats inside their homes with little muss or fuss (let's not discuss smell).� As a result, an entire industry consisting of cat foods, toys, grooming products, and the like was launched.
Today, the traditional clay cat litter that Ed Lowe introduced still commands the lion's share of the market at approximately 55 percent.�"
