My kitten went through a period of eating litter. I think it was because he was confined to a small space when I couldnt watch him and he was bored. Also, he had learned it while waiting to be adopted (in a cage, with his littermates, also bored). A little mineral oil and he passed it just fine and has not ingested any litter since allowing him full roam of the house.

So yes, they can eat the litter. That said, this is the FIRST of all the kittens I've fostered/raised/owned that has eaten litter. So I guess what I'm saying is, procede with caution. We use Yesterdays News with new kitties with great success. Its quite safe.
