No. As a rule, do not use wastes from meat eating animals.

It isn't recommended - the cat poo attracts scavengers, and may contain Toxoplasma. If you're going to compost it, do so separately for at least a year. Keep in mind the litter will break down into clay, which eventually will make your garden soil more difficult to work; best to use poo compost in areas that aren't tilled, such as around trees.

Cat litter is made of clay. In ten years, it'll look exactly like it does today. If you live in a desert climate, it may help your compost retain moisture, but it's pretty ugly stuff, fully recognizable as kitty litter.

Absolutely not!
Here are some things that should not be composted:
Kitchen scraps containing meat (Stuff like Apple peels, Orange peels, Banana peels OK)
Bones from chicken, turkey, pork chops. (Processed Bone Meal and Blood Meal purchased at Garden Shops is great. Adds Calcium, Iron and Nitrogen.
Used Cat Litter.
Human or animal feces (except from Herbivores like Cattle or Horses)
Magazines (Newspapers OK usually. Avoid colored print)
The Magazines produce toxins harmful to plants, the other materials above it may create a serious health hazard to you, your children or your pets and may attract unwelcome animals like rats or stray dogs or stray cats.

Cat litter, no.
Ever notice why people hate irresponsible cat owners who allow there cat to roam where ever and pee and poo in flower beds and gardens. Cat waste kills most everything, do not try it.

Depends on the litter. The clay ones don't rot down, but you can get litters to recycle. Costs about 4 times as much, though, here in the UK.

As an Organic Horticulturist, I would say no because it contains a nasty disease called Toxoplasmosis. Any pet disease can pass over to humans and cause sickness and even death. place the litter box waste in a plastic bag, tie it off and trash it!

It stinks. I can always tell when a cat has left something in my garden and they bury it.

A (thankfully) ex- neighbour did. The smell and the flies were horrendous. Their 'garden' was crap too.
