COCOCAT CASSAVA LITTER
Made to work smoothly with automatic litter boxes.
For automatic litter boxes, speed matters in ways most people don’t initially notice.
When a cat finishes using the tray, they instinctively want to leave — quickly and without hesitation. If clumping takes too long, or if loose particles scatter when the machine cycles, that natural rhythm is interrupted.
The cat may hesitate. Disturbed. Adjust their posture or footing.
These are small moments. But they happen every day.
Cassava litter was designed to remove that friction entirely — so the system works at the pace a cat expects, not the other way around.
Why cassava — and why now ？
Tofu litter works beautifully for manual scooping. Its structure, absorption, and flushability make it a reliable everyday option for many households.
Automatic systems operate under different conditions.
They rely on precision: clumps that form fast, hold their shape under mechanical movement, and lift cleanly without crumbling or sticking.
Cassava starch naturally meets these requirements.
Within 10 seconds of contact, it wraps moisture into dense, rounded clumps —firm enough to be lifted by a mechanical rake in one smooth motion, yet soft enough to remain comfortable under paws.
Made with four simple ingredients
- Cassava (Tapioca) Flour: Naturally fast-absorbing plant starch that forms dry, stable clumps and helps prevent residue from sticking to the tray.
- Corn Starch: Supports rapid moisture uptake at first contact, helping clumps set quickly and evenly without becoming sticky.
- Corn Flour: Adds body to the granule structure, improving clump integrity and consistency during repeated cycles of use.
- Food-Grade Guar Gum: A food-grade plant binder used in small amounts to help clumps hold together during lifting — without hardening or leaving residue.
How it works with automatic trays？
Clumping machines can trust
Many litters form clumps that appear solid at rest but fracture under pressure. When an automatic mechanism lifts them, they break apart. Dust scatters. Fragments get caught. Manual intervention becomes necessary.
Cassava starch behaves differently
As it absorbs moisture, it forms a gel layer that wraps inward, creating a compact, cohesive mass rather than a loose cluster. The result is clumps that:
- Stay intact through the full cleaning cycle
- Lift cleanly without residue
- Reduce mechanical strain over time
This stability is what allows automatic systems to operate smoothly and consistently.
Low dust, unscented by design.
Cassava litter is processed through multiple dust-removal stages, bringing dust content below 0.5%.
This isn’t only about cleaner floors — it’s about reducing what a cat inhales and ingests over time.
Cats groom themselves repeatedly throughout the day. Any dust that settles on their coat becomes part of that cycle.
By minimising airborne particles, cassava litter helps keep that exposure low.
We don’t add fragrance to our cassava cat litter.
Not as a rule — but because cassava itself has a naturally neutral scent.
Unlike some plant fibres that carry a more noticeable aroma, cassava stays understated. For cats that prefer a quieter, more neutral environment, this keeps the experience simple and calm.
Cassava’s micro-porous structure traps ammonia inside the clump itself, neutralising odour at the source quickly.
Texture cats accept instinctively.
A cat’s paw pads are highly sensitive. They register texture, temperature, and moisture with precision.
Cassava litter forms small, rounded granules — soft enough not to scratch,
stable enough to feel secure underfoot.
The texture resembles fine sand or loose soil — a surface cats instinctively recognise.
They can dig, cover, and move without hesitation.
No sharp edges. No slipping.
No need to test the surface before committing.
Low tracking helps keep litter where it belongs, without altering the feel under paws.
How it complements tofu litter ？
If you’re already using Cococat tofu litter, cassava isn’t a replacement. It’s a system-level adjustment.
Each material brings a different strength:
- Tofu litter offers sustained absorption and flushable disposal
- Cassava litter provides instant clumping and stability for automation
Used together, they allow the tray to respond more smoothly —
especially in automatic setups.
Cassava can also be used on its own. But many households find that combining the two brings the routine closer to effortless care.
About flushability — an honest explanation
Cassava litter is *NOT* flushable.
This is a consequence of its design based on cassava characteristics.
Its clumps are denser and slower to break down in water, which makes them ideal for mechanical lifting, but unsuitable for plumbing.
Compared to mineral-based litters, cassava still offers a gentler lifecycle impact. It’s plant-based, biodegradable, and produced without mining non-renewable resources.
Can it be used in a regular litter tray?
Yes. Absolutely.
Cassava litter works just as well in standard litter trays. Its dry, stable clumps are easy to scoop by hand, and the low-dust formula helps keep the tray cleaner between changes.
It’s designed with automatic litter boxes in mind — but that same stability makes everyday scooping simple too.
About usage and refill timing
Cassava litter usage can be difficult to measure precisely.
Most households use it with automatic litter boxes, where machine cycling and minimum fill levels affect how quickly litter is consumed.
As a general reference, two bags of cassava litter typically last at least one month in an automatic setup.
Actual usage may vary depending on your tray size, settings, and cleaning frequency.
Who cassava litter is for
Cassava litter may suit you if:
- You use an automatic litter box, or simply want a more stable setup with a regular litter tray
- You need stable clumps that won’t crumble or jam the mechanism
- You want minimal dust and a consistently dry tray surface
- You’re optimising a tofu-based setup for automation
You may prefer tofu litter if:
- You scoop manually
- Flushability is a priority
- Clumping speed isn’t a daily concern
We don’t consider one superior to the other. They’re calibrated for different systems and routines.
