Cat litter is a form of fullers earth and contains magnesium oxide which is hygroscopic. This reacts with the ice to extract water and the absorption reduces the amount of ice in contact with the litter. Thus like salt it is a chemical rection.

Cat litter does not melt ice, it only adds friction to its suface. People use it on driveways because it allows the tires to better grip the ground.

Clay because the clay absorbs the water that ice turns into.

Yes but salt is best because it will wash away in the rain while cat litter will just sit there and you'll have to clean it up afterwards.

Kitty litter will not melt ice, but it will provide added traction. In order to melt ice, a salt has to be used so as to reduce the freezing point of water.

Need info on what melts ice faster sand rock salt or kitty litter?

Rock salt will melt ice fastest. Sand and cat litter don't really melt the ice. They are used generally to provide particles for increasing traction on icy surfaces. Sand might prevent new ice from forming on roads. When salt dissolves into liquid water, it depresses the melting point temperature - - when helps the ice melt easier. Sand and cat litter don't dissolve into water, so they cannot have this effect. The only thing that sand and cat litter can do is absorb radiant energy from the surroundings better than ice since they are somewhat darker and less reflective - so they provide some minor assistance to melting the snow, but nowhere near the effect of salt.
