Cat litter would be too icky, from my point of view.  My greyhounds see their 
doc for more regular checkups than I do.  (not intending to minimize your 
point at all, just laughing about the pampering the greys get!)
This fall/winter garden I'm working on now is going to be mostly for canning, 
so I may go ahead and use the current pile for that.  I'll be putting 
pressure canning stuff in, so that ought to destroy everything.  For the 
"Eat-Fresh" boxes, I'll use non-animal compost.
And speaking of dogs and compost -- do we worry about that with horse manure, 
or are their leavings less transgenic?  (I think that's the word.  It might 
not be.)
