Speaker Stands Filled With Kitty Litter? TRUE???


I know that speaker stands should be filled with sand or lead shot for weight, stability and providing a good base for the speaker performance.

Recently, I heard people saying stands can be filled with KITTY LITTER! Is this true? Anybody else know about this, or is it a bunch of hooey? If it's true, how does it compare to the traditional fill materials?
Thanks.

But if it rings when you strike it, wouldn't it also ring in some way at certain frequencies? I dumped my metal rack for concrete blocks and was stunned at the difference. Improved solidity and blackness with piano notes seemingly more stable. 
Don’t tap on them whilst music is playing.
Obviously. But isn’t that a test as to an indication of the mechanical transmission of sound through the support?
