Then I got to thinking about the weight issue, and it could really be a big seller with the aging population since a 50 lb bag of cat litter is a problem to carry around for many people.

We already have starch foams for packaging and insulation and for litter would require herbicides to deter microbial growth. Starch was formerly added to bentonite clay drilling muds both expanded with sodium hydroxide.
