The Reviews
Pidan Tofu Cat Litter
| Material | Pea Dregs (Tofu) |
| Granule Size | 2mm Pellets |
| Scent | Unscented |
Pidan has a cult following for a reason. It delivers on the core promises of tofu litter—low dust, low tracking, and flushability—with a consistency that other brands struggle to match. It's our top pick for most cats and homes.
Pros
- Virtually zero dust, even during a fast pour.
- Clumps are fast-forming and stay solid during scooping.
- Pellets are small and gentle, great for sensitive paws.
Cons
- Slightly pricier than budget tofu options.
- Clumps can take a minute to fully harden.
PETKIT Mixed Tofu + Bentonite
| Material | Tofu + Bentonite Clay |
| Granule Size | 2-3mm Mixed |
| Scent | Activated Carbon |
For those who can't choose between tofu (light, low dust) and clay (iron-grip clumps). PETKIT blends tofu with bentonite and carbon. It feels like tofu but clumps like it means business. Note: Do not flush this hybrid.
Pros
- Fast, firm clumps that survive a vigorous scoop.
- Noticeably low dust for a clay-blend.
- Lower tracking than most sandy litters.
Cons
- Not purely plant-based and not flushable.
- If you scoop too quickly, fresh clumps can nick.
Honeycare Tofu Cat Litter
| Material | Soybean & Pea Fiber |
| Granule Size | 2.5mm Pellets |
| Scent | Light Fresh |
Honeycare delivers solid tofu performance without the premium price tag. Readers noted it clumps reliably and has a pleasant, mild scent. It's a fantastic, no-fuss option for multi-cat homes on a budget.
Pros
- Excellent value for the price.
- Good odor absorption with a light, fresh scent.
- Pellets are sturdy and produce minimal dust.
Cons
- Clumps can be slightly softer than premium brands.
- Tracking is average for a tofu litter.
Tuft & Paw Really Great Cat Litter
| Material | Soybean Pulp |
| Granule Size | 1.5mm Fine |
| Scent | Unscented |
Yes, it's pricey. But as many readers pointed out, you get what you pay for. Tuft & Paw's litter is exceptionally low on dust and tracking, with a super-fine texture that's very gentle on paws. It's the closest you'll get to a mess-free litter box.
Pros
- Extremely low dust and tracking.
- Clumps are impressively solid and fast-forming.
- Unscented and great for sensitive cats and people.
Cons
- Significantly more expensive than other options.
- Can be hard to find in local stores.
World's Best Cat Litter
| Material | Whole Kernel Corn |
| Granule Size | Fine Granules |
| Scent | Natural Corn |
While not tofu, many of our readers who tried tofu also love World's Best. Made from compressed corn, it offers outstanding odor control and quick-clumping action. It's a fantastic natural alternative if tofu isn't quite right for you.
Pros
- Exceptional, long-lasting odor control.
- Clumps are very fast and firm.
- Flushable and septic-safe.
Cons
- Can be dustier than high-end tofu litters.
- Has a distinct, natural corn smell that not everyone loves.
How We Test
Our recommendations are based on hands-on testing. We purchase every product and evaluate them on a consistent set of data-driven criteria to ensure our reviews are objective and fair.
Odor Control
We leave clumps in the box for 24 hours to assess ambient odor.
Clumping
We evaluate clump solidity and integrity 10 minutes after use.
Dust Level
We perform a 'pour test' from 3 feet into a clear container to measure dust clouds.
Tracking
We use a dark mat to measure how far particles are tracked from the litter box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is tofu litter safe for kittens?
Yes, most pure tofu litters are non-toxic and safe if nibbled. However, supervise any new litter and consult a vet if your kitten tries to eat it consistently.
Which litter has the least smell?
For a neutral scent, our readers preferred Pidan and Tuft & Paw. For maximum, 'smells-like-nothing' odor elimination, the corn-based World's Best is a top performer.
Can I mix tofu and clay litter?
Absolutely. That's what PETKIT does. You get firmer clumps than tofu alone, with less dust than many clays. Just remember not to flush the mix.
Final Verdict: Which Litter Should You Choose?
There's no single 'best' litter, only what's best for your home. If you're new to tofu and want a gentle, low-dust option, start with Pidan. If you prioritize cleanliness above all and have the budget, Tuft & Paw is a dream. And if you want the best clumping power, the PETKIT hybrid is your perfect compromise. The best choice is the one that makes both you and your cat happy.
