Tofu litter is shaped like a long, thin cylinder. It is also available in the form of crushed sand. Tofu litter has better performance. It can quickly clump and has good water absorption. It can effectively collect the kitten’s excrement together.

Since it is relatively easy to collect, the feeder can easily find the excrement and clean them out. Tofu cat litter can effectively reduce the possibility of kittens taking the litter outside the litter box. Even if it is brought out, it is relatively small and does not break easily. It is easier for the feeder to clean up. For tofu cat litter, use a single-layer litter box to maintain a thickness of 5-7cm.

The odor of kitten excrement is relatively strong. But tofu cat litter has good odor absorption and can reduce the odor of excrement. It can reduce the emission of excrement odor and is conducive to the maintenance of environmental hygiene.

Tofu cat litter is less dusty and safer for the cat’s respiratory system. Because cats will pick up the litter after excretion, if the litter is dusty then the dust will also be inhaled by the cat’s respiratory system. Likewise, the owner may inhale some of the dust when handling the litter. Therefore, in addition to the safety of the raw material, the amount of dust is also a very important indicator of cat litter.

Tofu Cat Litter Pros and Cons

Let’s go over some of the advantages of using tofu litter:

• Eco-Friendly
  • Tofu cat litter is made from soybean residue that is water-soluble and can be incinerated or buried to decompose. Therefore, the entire process from production to disposal is less of a burden on the environment.

• Safer
  • Because of its natural ingredients, you don’t have to worry too much if children or cats accidentally eat it. If your children or pets (not only cats but also dogs) are eating tofu litter, consider changing the litter flavor or changing the litter box so that they don’t eat it so easily.

• No Dust
  • Tofu litter is less dusty than other types of litter, making it a better choice for your cat’s respiratory tract. (Dust levels may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer)

• Strong Water Absorption
  • 400% absorption ability than common cat litter. It is a cleaner and better type of litter overall.
• Higher Clumping capabilities
  • Great clumping effect and good absorption, it absorbs a cat’s urine in a few seconds and then clumps. Easy for cat owners to scoop out the clumped litter.
• Good Deodorization
  • With great odor control, tofu cat litter quickly absorbs odor in 1.5 seconds, and this leaves no time for an odor to be generated. The deodorizing effect is much better than many other cat litter options.
• Flushable
  • Because of its water-soluble nature, the litter will dissolve and clump quickly when it encounters a small amount of water (such as cat urine) and will dissolve when it encounters a large amount of water (such as in the toilet), so it can be flushed directly. So it’s perfect for cat owners who want convenience!

• Light Weight
  • Because the material is soybean residue, it is lighter than bentonite litter when transporting or cleaning the litter. It is easier for cat owners to use than bentonite litter.

It also has some disadvantages:

• More Expensive
  • Tofu litter is a medium to the high-priced type of cat litter, and although it has many advantages and convenience, it is also more expensive to purchase than bentonite litter.

• Inadvertent Ingestion
  • Tofu litter is made from soybean residue, and the faint smell of soybeans may be mistaken for food by other children in the home (both small and large) and eaten. Eating a little tofu cat litter won’t cause much serious impact. Cat eating tofu litter too.

• Easily Exposed to Moisture
  • If the cat litter is placed in a humid environment (such as a toilet), it may clump together due to moisture.

• Risk of Pest Infestation
  • This is also a concern for many cat owners. Because tofu litter is made of soybean residue, it may attract small bugs. However, from our experience, as long as the litter box is cleaned regularly and the cats’ urine and stool are dug up regularly, there is basically no risk of worms or odor.

How to Choose Tofu Cat Litter?

If you want to buy tofu cat litter, you can check the following indicators:

• Clumping ability
• Water absorption
• Deodorization control
• Dust

Many brands of cat litter are available in small packages. Pick a few brands of litter and try them out on your cat one by one. See which one it likes and then settle on one.

The selection is not blindly chosen, need to pay attention to a few points.

First of all, choose a cat litter with a strong clumping ability and is easy to scoop out, this kind of litter is easy to clean and can absorb odor.

Secondly, cats prefer litter with no smell, so try not to use those with a strong scent. But the owner is often more like the cat litter with fragrance. So sometimes the cat’s feelings are not considered when choosing, so the cat does not like to use the cat litter bought back. It is important to remember that cat litter is for cats. The litter that they like is the right one.

If your cat does not like the litter we have chosen for it, it will usually do the following: scratch the litter tray, stand outside the litter tray or jump out quickly after entering, or poop directly next to the litter tray. Therefore, when you find your cat in these situations, please change to another brand of cat litter and do not change to another brand easily.

How to Use Tofu Cat Litter?
