It'd be a mess.
But the way the kitty litter trick is
supposed to work is that you spread cheap clay-based
kitty litter on the oil, crush it and grind it
in, then sweep it up.
Depending on the surface characteristics of the concrete
this works really well to sort of ok. But it's
cheap and doesn't involve chemicals so its a good start.
People do spread out kitty litter and leave it
for sopping up oil, but that's for drips
that continue (i.e. under british vehicles).
