TOFU Cat Litter

Which cat litter doesn't track all over the house?

The least litter ends up around your home when it's made of coarse pellets that don't stick to paws and don't crumble when your cat digs. Fine clay or sand-like litter, on the other hand, gets stuck between the toe beans and travels all the way into your bed. Here's why litter leaves the box in the first place – and what actually helps.

Pellets instead of fine granules that barely stick to paws
Firm clumps that don't crumble on the scoop
3–5 cm (1–2 in) of litter is enough – less to kick out

Why does cat litter end up all over the house?

Most of the time, the granules hitch a ride on your cat's paws. On top of that, some litter flies over the edge when your cat digs or jumps out. Three things decide how much of it reaches your hallway, bathroom and bed.

1 Fine granules. Sand-like clay or silica litter settles between the toe beans and in the fur on the paws. Long-haired cats pick up the most.

2 Crumbs instead of clumps. When a clump falls apart on the scoop, damp crumbs stay in the box, stick to paws and later dry onto the floor.

3 Too much litter, too little box. A deep layer and a cramped box invite vigorous digging. Whatever flies over the edge ends up in front of the box.

How do you spot litter that stays in the box?

1 Coarse pellets instead of sand: they don't fit between the toe beans.

2 Firm clumping, so no crumbs are left behind when you scoop.

3 Dust-free, so no fine film settles around the box.

What TOFU does differently

TOFU checks all three boxes. You'll notice it the next time you walk down the hallway in socks.

Pellets that stay put

TOFU cat litter is made of pressed pellets from pea and soy fiber and corn. They're longer and softer than clay granules and don't fit between the toe beans. Your cat steps out of the box, and the litter stays inside.

„I'm thrilled!! No more litter around the house. No crumbling on the scoop.“ – Susan M., Germany

Clumps that hold together

TOFU binds urine into firm clumps you can lift out in one go. No damp crumbs are left behind to stick to paws and dry onto the floor later.

Less in the box, less around it

With TOFU, 3–5 cm (1–2 in) of litter is enough. We fill to about 5 cm (2 in), and if it drops a little after scooping, that's fine. Less litter in the box also means less litter flying over the edge when your cat digs.

„Regular litter needs to be 7–10 cm deep; with this litter, 3–5 cm is plenty.“ – Leonie A., Germany

6 tips for less litter around the house

The right litter makes the biggest difference. These simple habits take care of the rest.

1 Choose a coarse litter. Pellets instead of fine sand, see above.

2 Don't overfill. With TOFU, 3–5 cm (1–2 in) is enough.

3 Give it enough room. The box should be about one and a half times as long as your cat, not counting the tail. More litter flies over the edge in a cramped box.

4 High sides or a hood. Both catch what flies up when your cat digs. Some cats don't like a hood, so test it out.

5 A mat at the exit. A litter mat right in front of the box catches whatever is still clinging to paws.

6 Trim the paw fur. For long-haired cats, it helps to keep the fur between the toe beans short – ideally at the vet or a groomer.

For the last bits: the LOOMAT litter mat

The double-layer LOOMAT catches whatever still clings to paws after a trip to the box. It ships without a fold and lies flat from day one. Together with TOFU, the floor around the box stays clean.
