Not sure what you mean by types, clumping. I find that the best use for paper in the garden is as an underlay for mulch. It makes a great weed suppressant but still allows water to permeate. After it serves its purpose, It eventually degrades or is eaten by worms.

Personally i wouldn't put cat litter in the garden. Toxoplasmosis is spread by ingestion of cat poo. Any action that might increase exposure to cat poo should be avoided, such as allowing children to play in (uncovered) sandpits which attract pooing cats.

A lot of kitty litter is made from Bentonite, which is a super absorbent clay. It's the same stuff they use to seal leaking dams. I wouldn't use it in the garden unless I had very sandy soil. Dig it in down deep and it might be beneficial. Still have the risk of disease though.
