Tofu cat litter comes in many brands, scents and prices. Use these 7 checks to find one that fits your cat and your home.
Start with a low-scent formula, switch gradually, and compare price per kilogram rather than price per bag. If your cat shows any unusual symptoms after a change, stop using it and ask a vet.
Check whether the litter controls odor on its own or relies mostly on added fragrance. Some cats dislike strong scents and may avoid the box, so first-timers should try unscented or lightly scented.
Litter that forms firm clumps is easier to scoop and leaves fewer crumbs behind. That helps a bag last longer because you only remove the wet parts.
Low dust is better for cats and owners, especially in homes with allergies. Pour a little slowly and see how much dust rises.
Small, soft pellets suit kittens and cats with sensitive paws. Larger pellets tend to stick to paws less and are easier to sweep up.
Some labels say the litter can be flushed. Read the conditions and check that your plumbing or building allows it. If unsure, bag it and use your normal waste collection.
Compare price per kilogram or per liter, not per bag, because bag sizes differ. Also estimate how many weeks one box of litter lasts.
Read the ingredient list and warnings. If your cat shows itching or unusual stools after a switch, stop using it and consult a vet.

It depends on the brand and on your plumbing. Read the label for that product and check local or building rules. If unsure, bag it and throw it away with household waste.
Mix the new litter with the old in gradually larger amounts, for example about 25%, then 50% and 75% over a week or more. Watch that your cat keeps using the box as usual.
Tofu litter is generally lighter and easier to carry, while bentonite is often cheaper per kilogram. Real differences vary by brand, so compare using the 7 checks above.
Kittens may try to chew or eat litter. Choose a small-pellet product the maker says suits kittens and supervise at first. If a kitten eats a lot of litter, ask a vet.
Tofu litter is light, low-dust and clumps well; choose by scent and bag size.
