Natural kitty litter
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
Natural kitty litter is a litter made from a plant or mineral base, most often tofu, cassava or a blend of the two, and it is usually sold as a clumping or pellet litter. The word natural is used loosely in this market, so the base material and the scent line tell you more than the label does. This guide compares the natural kitty litters in our product data pack, grouped by base: tofu, cassava and mineral. It explains what each listing says about clumping, dust, scent and flushing, and it points out where the listings give different sizes. Every fact comes from the listing data we collected, and where a listing does not state a value we say so.
Quick answer
- For a flushable clumping litter, choose a tofu litter. The listings in the pack describe clumps that can be flushed in small amounts.
- For a firm clumping litter with no added scent, choose a cassava blend. The EZSKUUP and Robotail listings describe unscented cassava litters.
- For a scented option, choose a tofu litter with a plant extract or a Gardner cassava litter with deodorizing particles, and read the scent line first.
- For a mineral base, the CATPAK listing describes an unscented attapulgite clay. It is not a tofu or cassava litter, so check the clumping line before you choose it.
What natural means in this pack
The listings in our pack use natural in several senses. Some mean a plant base, such as pea fiber, corn starch or cassava. Some mean a mineral base, such as attapulgite clay, which is a natural clay. Some mean no added fragrance, and others mean a plant extract or a deodorizing particle is added. The listings are clear about the base, so read the base first and the scent second. A litter can be natural and still carry a green tea or other plant scent.
Natural litters also differ in how they flush and how they break down. The tofu listings describe flushing in small amounts, and the Meowgic listing describes compost and flushing as options. The cassava listings describe unscented, non-stick clumps but do not all describe flushing, so check each product page. Mineral litters are not described as flushable in the pack.
Base materials in the pack
- Tofu. The Meowgic, Kitty City and VETRESKA listings describe tofu litter made from peas, soybean residue or corn starch, with added activated carbon or deodorizing beads in some versions.
- Cassava. The EZSKUUP, Robotail and Gardner listings describe cassava litter, sometimes blended with corn, pea or corn meal, and in some cases with baking soda or deodorizing particles.
- Mineral. The CATPAK listing describes an attapulgite clay with fine granules, unscented and designed for dust control.
Each base behaves differently in the box. Tofu and cassava clump fast, and the listings describe clumps that lift out whole. A mineral clay absorbs liquid and forms clumps, but it does not dissolve in water, so it cannot be flushed.
Size, weight and supply
The bags in the pack range from about 5 pounds to 18 pounds. The Kitty City, Meowgic and VETRESKA bags are 6 pounds or about 5.5 pounds each, the Gardner and Robotail bags are 18 pounds, and the CATPAK bag is 11.2 pounds. The EZSKUUP unscented listing is 18 pounds, and the EZSKUUP tofu and cassava mix is listed as a two-pack of 18 pounds. Check the bag count in the detail table as well as the title.
Supply estimates are given in some listings. The CATPAK listing says an 11.2 pound bag lasts typically two to three weeks for one cat, with scooping twice a day. The listing for the EZSKUUP mix says the litter lasts twice as long as clay at the same weight. Those are the listing’s own estimates, so treat them as a starting point and track how your box uses litter over the first month.

Roundup: natural kitty litters worth a look
Each block covers one product from the pack. The facts come from its own listing.
1. Meowgic Paws Plant-Based Tofu Cat Litter, 6 lb
This tofu litter comes in a 6 pound vacuum-packed bag, and the title says unscented, lightweight and flushable. The listing says the blend is 80 percent tofu and 20 percent natural minerals with activated carbon, and that the 2 millimeter granules are soft on paws. It adds bentonite for faster clumping, and it describes the litter as 100 percent compostable. The listing says the litter can go in a green bin, be composted or be flushed in small quantities. Its dust-free claim is a listing claim of 99 percent dust removed.
2. Kitty City Tofu Cat Litter, 6 lb
This plant-based tofu litter is a 6 pound bag. The listing says it has no artificial ingredients and forms firm clumps that lock in moisture and odor. It describes a low dust process and a lightweight bag that is easy to carry and pour. The listing says the litter is flushable in small amounts, and it asks buyers to follow local plumbing guidelines. It is a suitable option for a single cat or a small household that wants a simple tofu litter without extra additives.
3. VETRESKA Tofu Cat Litter, Original, 5.5 lb x 2 bags
The VETRESKA Original is a tofu litter in two 5.5 pound bags. The listing says it is made from peas and corn starch, that it clumps within seconds and does not stick to the bottom, and that it includes deodorizing beads. It describes the scent as the aroma of the raw materials rather than a fragrance. The listing says the bag is vacuum packed and may look like a brick on arrival, so open the inner bag and let the litter loosen. It advises flushing small amounts only.
4. EZSKUUP Non-Stick Tofu Cassava Cat Litter, 18 lb 2-pack
This is a mixed tofu and cassava litter sold as a two-pack totaling 18 pounds. The listing says it combines peas, corn, cassava and baking soda, and that the particles form a dense structure that keeps urine from reaching the bottom of the box. It describes fast absorption, firm clumping and a low-tracking shape. The listing advises against use with certain self-cleaning boxes because of their filter holes, so check your box before you order. It is a sensible choice for a home with a standard scoop box.
5. Gardner Pet Cassava Cat Litter with Deodorizing Pellets, 18 lb
The Gardner cassava litter is an 18 pound bag made from cassava flour, corn starch and corn meal. The listing says it is unscented and infused with five percent green deodorizing particles. It describes quick clumping and non-stick scooping, and a pellet size that the listing says reduces scatter outside the box. The listing describes a low dust formula with 99 percent dust free. The listing is clear that the product is free from artificial fragrances, and the green particles are the only added element named.
6. Robotail Premium Cassava Cat Litter, 18 lb 2-pack
The Robotail litter is 100 percent cassava and comes as an 18 pound two-pack. The listing says it is unscented and free of artificial fragrances, and that it forms tight, hard clumps that do not stick to the pan. It describes almost no dust when the cat uses or the owner scoops the litter. The listing also says the cassava can be blended with clay, bentonite or tofu litter to improve clumping in an existing box. That blend suggestion is useful if you want to change litters gradually.
7. EZSKUUP Unscented Cassava Cat Litter, 18 lb
This EZSKUUP bag is a cassava litter with no added fragrance, sold as 18 pounds. The listing says it forms tight clumps quickly, that it is 99.95 percent dust free, and that it lasts about twice as long as clay at the same weight. It describes the cassava as cooked at a set temperature to make it safe, and it says the litter works in most boxes, including automatic boxes. It is the same product line as the EZSKUUP mix, so read the compatibility line carefully before you choose between them.
8. CATPAK Dust Free Clumping Mineral Cat Litter, 11.2 lb
This mineral litter is an attapulgite clay sold in an 11.2 pound bag. The listing says it is unscented, uses a natural porous mineral to adsorb odor, and forms firm clumps. It describes fine, sand-like granules that feel gentle underfoot, and it says the bag typically lasts two to three weeks for one cat with twice-daily scooping. The listing says about three inches of litter gives the best performance, and that the granules sift through automatic box screens. It is not described as flushable.
Review: the EZSKUUP unscented cassava litter in depth
The EZSKUUP unscented cassava litter is the best example in the pack of a fragrance-free natural litter with a clear set of claims about clumping, dust and box compatibility. It is sold as 18 pounds, and the listing describes a cassava base with no added fragrance. For a household that wants a natural litter without scent, it is one of the most direct options in the pack.
In daily use, the listing describes three things. The first is clumping. The clumps form quickly, and the listing says the litter does not stick to the bottom or sides of the box, which makes scooping easier. The second is dust. The listing says the litter is 99.95 percent dust free and that little dust is raised when the cat uses the box or the owner scoops. The third is compatibility. The listing says the litter works in most boxes, including automatic ones. Check your model before you order, because the same brand’s mixed tofu litter carries a warning about certain self-cleaning boxes.
The listing also says the cassava is cooked at a set temperature to make it safe. It says that even a small amount swallowed will not harm the cat, and it asks owners not to encourage cats to eat it. Cats that chew or nibble litter should be checked by a veterinarian, and any change in appetite, stool or urination needs a veterinary visit. The listing does not claim to treat a health problem.
The listing gives a bag weight of 18 pounds and a claim that the litter lasts twice as long as clay at the same weight. That estimate is the listing’s own, so measure your own use over the first month. If the litter does not last as long as the listing says, check the scoop schedule and the depth of the litter in the box.
For a single cat, the unscented cassava litter is a sound choice in a standard box. For several cats, the larger bag makes sense if you scoop every day and keep the box clean. Choose the clay option only if you want a harder-packed litter with a different feel, and expect different results from the listing’s claims.
Mistakes to avoid with natural kitty litter
- Assuming natural means unscented. The Gardner, VETRESKA and Meowgic listings each carry a scent or scent-like feature, so read the scent line before you buy.
- Flushing too much at once. The tofu listings say to flush only small amounts at a time.
- Ignoring the self-cleaning box warning. The EZSKUUP mix says it does not suit certain self-cleaning boxes because of their filter holes.
- Flushing a mineral clay. The CATPAK listing does not describe it as flushable.
- Skipping the veterinarian. A change in urination, stool or appetite needs an exam, whatever litter you use.
FAQ
Is natural kitty litter flushable?
Some are. The Meowgic and Kitty City listings describe flushing in small amounts, and the VETRESKA listing advises the same. The cassava and mineral listings in the pack do not describe flushing, so check each product page first.
Which natural kitty litter is unscented?
The Meowgic, Robotail, EZSKUUP unscented and CATPAK listings describe unscented litters. The Gardner listing is unscented but includes green deodorizing particles. The VETRESKA listing describes the aroma of its raw materials.
Does natural kitty litter clump well?
The tofu and cassava listings describe fast, firm clumps. The CATPAK mineral listing also describes firm clumps. Clumping depends on the amount of urine and the depth of the litter, so use about three inches for best results, as the CATPAK listing suggests.
Can I mix natural litter with another litter?
The Robotail and EZSKUUP listings both suggest blending cassava with clay, bentonite or tofu for better clumping or less tracking. Change the litter gradually and watch your cat’s use of the box.
How many bags do I need?
The CATPAK listing estimates two to three weeks for one cat with an 11.2 pound bag, and the EZSKUUP listing says its litter lasts about twice as long as clay at the same weight. Track your own use over the first month to find the right bag size for your home.
Are natural kitty litters safe for cats?
The listings describe plant-based or mineral materials, and some say they are safe if a small amount is eaten. Those statements do not replace veterinary advice. If your cat eats litter regularly, or shows any change in appetite, stool or urination, contact your veterinarian.
Bottom line
For a flushable clumping litter, choose a tofu option such as Meowgic or Kitty City. For a firm, unscented cassava litter, choose the EZSKUUP unscented or Robotail listing. For a scented option with deodorizing particles, choose Gardner. For a mineral clay that is not flushable, choose CATPAK. Check the bag count and the scent line before you order, and speak to your veterinarian about any change in your cat’s habits.
