Wow! Solid content and solid experiment. Thank you so much! This is super helpful!!
This was great, thank you
They forgot three other important criteria, cost, environmental friendliness and how easy they are to access.
I can't say much about the others but I can vouch for tofu. It doesn't cost much more than the other ones, it's fully biodegradable, and they can be ordered from most online retailers of pet supplies. Some of them are even scented with green tea so they smell nice. I hope this helps.
@@ShreddedShredder0 yup! Ive been using tofu based litter for years and it has never fail me. And i have 7 cats at home c:
@@derpykaichu hi!! May I know what cat litter are you using, i'll have my first kitten indoors :)) thank you!!
@@Aki-jv3cl i use tofu based littet, the crushed kind. There are many options of tofu based litter c: since i have 7 cats at home i have to clean it every other day but if u have only one it can last u for a few days before cleaning
@@derpykaichu oh alright thanks!! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
They picked the worst clay litter to test 😅 and why there is no corn or wheat litter to compare in this video ??
Or grass seed!
Very informative, thank you.
Use wood pellets next time,not whatever the hell that wood litter was. Wood pellets are eco friendly, cheap, absorbent, they dont clump but it turns to sawdust when wet so it can be sifted out, its oder resistant, and did i mention its CHEAP!? $7 for a 40lb bag!
And p.s. that wood litter DID absorb the liquid in the absorbency test,wth 😂
I'm here because I'm making the switch to wood pellets
I was really excited about using pine pellets, but I immediately encountered two problems: the terrible smell of the poo when my cat couldnt cover it up, and my allergies flaring up at the smell of pine shavings. Now I'm on the hunt again for an alternative. :'(
Yo you can get the surefire brand at Canadian tire for 5$
@@BelleFlower15 cats that are fed a species appropriate diet dont have smelly poop :)) (my cat's poop dont smell like a thing lol)
ks96119 what food do you feed your cat?
Just signed up for the monthly subscription! This stuff looks awesome and planet friendly!
litter should never be flushed down the toilet
Why?
why tho🧐? you flushed your poop down the toilet as well
@@redricket the water treatment facilities are not designed to treat cat feces. Cat feces can contain toxoplasma which is toxic to humans and the environment. Using biodegradable litter and throwing the used litter away in a biodegradable bag is the safest option
Yes!! I came her to comment the same thing! Toxoplasmosis Gondii is a very serious parasite and it kills thousands of sea otters every year. 18% of California sea otter deaths are attributed to t. gondii exposure - exposure that happens when “treated” grey waste water goes into our oceans. And that’s directly because cat guardians flush their litter.
@@redricket we don’t carry toxoplasmosis gondii, cats are the only known carriers of these parasites. Doesn’t kill the cats because it’s intended “prey” are rodents and birds. T.gondii kills those animals so the cat will come and eat the prey. This is why pregnant women are told not to scoop cat litter, because this parasite can blind and cause serious brain damage to developing fetuses. When these parasites enter waste water, they can’t be eradicated; which means these parasites make it into our oceans. Marine mammals don’t have any sort of immunity against t. gondii, so it kills sea otters and has been known to blind dolphins. Overall, it’s (t.gondii) incredibly dangerous and should never be flushed.
Thanks for this video I will try one now. I am using paper atm. I see this is sold at Coles.
you should get an award comparing things
Bentonite clay clumps much better than the clay in the video. It's actually the best clumper I'd say. (Yes I know it's not ecological and whatnot).
Thanks for this informative video.
However, I would like to point out that some test methods are wrong especially clay related parts.
After the cats go to the toilet, it covers the cat litter and waits for a while. Then, you can do the clumping test. Otherwise of course you can conlude as "not clumping"
I’ve tried bentonite clay litter, tofu litter, wood pellets and crystal and so far, crystal wins in term of odor control. Sure tofu litter absorbs well but absorbing liquid doesn’t mean absorbing the smell that came with it.
Tofu absorb too well also they absorb moisture from the air. It's not recommend for whom that live in high moisture area.
you should use litter deodorizers
Did you try the tofu with active charcoal? This one is to remove the smell the best.
Compare to corn, wheat, pine, and grass seed next!
I have a cat named Tofu. I discovered tofu litter because of him and would love to get some for him to try.
Where do you live? And have you tried tofu litter yet?
@2:11 it smokes??? 😳
I thought they were pouring hot water
For trial, I bought tofu because its less dusty. So far 6 Litre tofu for 10 cats lasts me 1 week. still have a lot of pellets left. the usage is equal to my 2 bags of 10L bentonite per week. if this same tofu litter can last for another week, i'm going to change to tofu totally.
I wish you include wheat litter and grass litter!
why is the water so hot for the crystal? hahahahahah..
Cause they want to make it look bad
That’s the dust
its the reaction
It’s not. That’s an exothermic reaction you see. In small scale - aka, a cat wee - the reaction is very small and dissipates quickly. But pour a lot of water into the crystals and you get a larger reaction.
You flipped that walnut after it sat there for a little longer in the group shot, and it let out no water followed by a cross. I know youre trying to sell a product, but you also added more water to it than the other products
I noticed that too. If you watch the video again, every other type of litter they used way more water and with tofu, they deliberately used less.
@@jester116 that’s not true. Each pour was 5 seconds from when they started pouring in the above shot then transitioned to the side shot. They each finished pouring in 5 seconds. The reason they look like they have more water is because the litters weren’t being absorbed as quickly, especially on the walnut. So the water sits on top of the litter making it seem like there’s more water. I’ve used a tofu cat litter for over 3 years now and I absolutely love it over any other kind of litter - and I’ve tried a lot of litter! It absorbs quickly, isn’t dusty, doesn’t stick to the bottom of the litter box, and keeps odors down.
@@dawnchesbro4189, I was *super* happy when I was using wood chip litter until I tried the tofu pellets and never look back since. Now I subscribe to the one in my city for a monthly delivery. That is after I've tried paper, wood chip, crystal, clay (these are the only ones sold where I am (KL, Malaysia)).
the best
This is an add (1), it fails to compare cat litter to cat litter (2), and there's no control (3). Horrible misleading science.
i like how they intentionally left out the best one to test which is grass lol
How do I buy this if I live in California
such a biased comparison.
I used tofu too
I have tried this product. It was good. But the cost was just too high.
The Best one is clumping one
Yikes @crystals! What were,the visible fumes coming from the liquid absorption test?!?
it's steam. the water is hot
Why are you using hot water for the tests? Cat Urine isn't that hot and steamy. Can you do this again with normal temperature water?
It;s not hot water. It’s an exothermic reaction you see in the crystal litter.
Where can you find the tofu litter. I live on Long Island NY
Dean Shannon at the pet store
very skewed
What about the smell?..
Literal shook that tofu litter like y u so careful
I live in an old black walnut orchard and I'm Not going to grind up those things!! They're hard as rocks.
Can you try edible corn flour
Wood pellets are very asorbant and is biodegradable as well as cost less.
I feel like everyone knows tofu cat litter is the best, but honestly it’s not cheap, at lease in my country Canada, would you rather wanna spend $20 on 30lb of paper litter, or $70+ on 30lb of tofu litter, you didn’t compare the prices for sure, you have to be in Asian country where the tofu litter is cheaper
Not really , tofu is still more expensive than bentonite cat litter people here often use
some people still use tofu because they're environmental friendly
But tofu is still hard to get in most of the city , I've tried searching for it for couple of month ... at best I can buy it in ecommerce with higher shipping fee
hello, i don't think the video owner is from asian country. i am from an asian country and tofu cat litter is EXPENSIVE AS HELL as well but i still use it because it's very human-friendly cat litter.
if you want to go for a cheaper option, i suggest you get the wood pellets! ;)
@@joewennne is it harm to cat if they swallowed thir tofu.....because this is their first time using tofu for litter
number one rule is work out if you can afford the best for your cat. how much do you want to spend? its like a child, disposable daipers or reusable ones or none..
if you cant best not to adopt.
i use tofu..so far so good..easy tu flush...and super clumping ..and little dust..
How about the smell.. ??
@@MrBenedick14 smell fragrant..but need to threw a poo or pee fast..
国内豆腐猫砂九块九10L，英国豆腐/玉米猫砂32镑10KG。。
One most important is the smell.. If tofu can reduce the smell .. I will buy tofu litter..
Walnut is the best but rare and expensive
If my cat swallowed their tofu ....because this is their first time use this......does it harm my cat??
Every cat sand or even tofu will not harm your cat,. It has a bad taste.. But it will not harm the cats even if they eat it accidentally..
but crystal is not a clumping type.
Where can i get tofu cat litter and is there any problems if a cat ingest it
I think they made from tofu so they should be edible
In fact, some of the tofu litters advertise it is food safe.
@@KLanima I do not want to eat cat poo or any poo. I doubt my cats do want for either. But the poo is not the issue. I have to find a litter or than crystals that my cats do not get stuck to their paws, and after litterbox, they groom, even this litter was stuck between toes, so sad and Dias a pint in get. My speculation with this litter is how long lasts. The hype of this project did not match the hype/marketing. I told my friends about this litter, and we were in agreement this was going to solve the litter ingestion thing. Well, this litter also stuck to their cats paws and back upper legs. My cat gets iTI, it is so scary, and I keep trying new litters, why is it so hard to make the blend of litter better than clay. The best I have found is crystal litter, and I had high hope for walnut, paper compressed.
No offense really to tofu, the latest wonder cat litter medium. I had higher hope. I have three litter boxes, two adult female cats, and one with chronic UTI, and impacted anal glands.
So, give it s try, maybe it will work for you best. My result was more 50% lose 50% okay. In a two cat house with one sensitive cat to litter anyone go through this, anything that worked well for you? My UTI cat is 11, my other cat is 13. I try so hard on the litter issue, and bless for these cats of mine to also keep trying. .
I feed them Ian's urinary tract health, and try to have wheat grass down for them to graze, a water fountain, and two bowls of water. Perhaps it is just genetics with my one cat, I don't have parental history as they were younger shelter cats.
Has anyone tried just dirt? Like planting soil?
@@jenniferolmstead5498 My cats won't use any of the pelletized litters. Now trying Feline Pine - clumping. Seems to be working
tofu is the best
Why am I seeing smoky water?
Hot water exists sometimes
But tofu litter would be too sticky to scoop up and will also stick on the scoop
It actually doesn't stick to the scoop at all!
Just buy the extruded chicken crumble feed.
I've been using tofu litter for my cat and i love it..... It's easy because i can flush it down the toilet..... And super absorbent too.... But i won't recommend this for those who owns multiple cats.... Just not suitable..
If 2 cats still suitable? And why you said not suitable for many cats?
I’d like to know why. Because I am planning on switching but I have 4 cats
@@hafizmarzuki9203 what he means it is not practical..
If you have to many cats, it is better to use bentonite.. Tofu is only good if you have 2 to 3 cat , because the amount of clumping is very large and it is not practical to use if you have too many cats.. But if have the money then its no problem
Crystals aren’t supposed to clump…
My cats have been using tofu litter for months now. Very economical actually.
Does it stick to the litter box
@@savannahalvarado3489 if it sticks to the litter box, just scrap it off. u know how cats are. they don't really care if they do their business in the middle or at the edge of the litter box. ☺ it's not really stick stick, u know. it will dry out for a few days eventually but let's not do that. discipline ourselves to clean the litter box everyday. it will only get worse if the cats pee at the same place over n over again. u'll get tofu custard when that happens. 😝
@@makcik72 I was just curious bc pellet litter doesn't stick to the litter box you dont have to scrape at it. But I got walnut shell litter and I've been really loving it, our cats seem to as well. It doesnt stick nearly as bad as clay litter.
@@savannahalvarado3489 i see. walnut shell litter, u say? maybe i should make my cats try it one day... if it is available n affordable in my country that is. even the wood litter is expensive here. anyway, happy 'treasure hunting' to all fellow cat lovers! xD
@@makcik72 yea I definitely reccomend it, I have 3 cats and my female cat wouldn't use the pine pellets because the pellets are so big they hurt her paws so I was scared the tofu litter would be the same way. But all 3 of my cats are really comfortable when scooping their paws through the litter. I've given up on trying to find an inexpensive litter haha I did a lot of research on all the different types and its surprising how many there are that arent actually good for cats. A lot of people like the pine pellets because they're cheap but even those arent good for cats, I've seen multiple articles claiming there are phenols in them that are toxic to cats and even when they kill dry it's still not 100% safe. I dont want to risk anything and I want my babies to live for as long as possible so I'll keep buying the walnut shells!! I got my 26 lb bag for $30
Saan makabili
lazada or shopee look for cature tofu litter
Yessss.... tofu litter the best!!
LOL
This is not a realistic demonstration of the products. Instead of trying to appear
'scientific' or visually appealing, it would be better to show real litter boxes at work with each type of litter.
You should NEVER EVER flush litter of any kind down the toilet!
why?
@@rizkimen2069 short answer: it kills and blinds marine mammals.
Long(ish) answer: a majority of cats are carriers of toxoplasmosis gondii (t. gondii). Doesn’t hurt the cats, but is dangerous to pre-natal infants and marine mammals, blinding them and sometimes killing them. Modern sewage treatment can’t kill t. gondii, so the larva can survive in treated waste water as it’s eventually pumped into streams and oceans. There the parasite infects marine mammals, who didnt have evolutionary contact with the parasite and therefore don’t have immunity (I’m greatly simplifying this, btw). T.gondii is known to kill 17% of California sea otters and has been the cause of blindness in dolphins (more research is needed on this, but it’s not a sexy subject).
So the take-away is that flushing cat litter - even just the urine - has the possibility of containing this parasite and directly kills marine mammals.
