Fast clumping, low dust, and incredible odor control — here’s why cassava is rising fast.

Cassava cat litter is made from cassava root starch, and in 2025 it has become one of the strongest-performing eco-friendly litters. In my tests, it combined the best parts of tofu litter and clay.

🍠 What Cassava Litter Is Made Of

Pure cassava starch or a cassava–corn blend.

Starch absorbs moisture instantly → explains the fast clumping.

Honeycare Strong Clumping Cat Litter — Tested in a Multi-Cat Home

Finding a  Cassava litter that clumps well without creating clouds of dust is surprisingly difficult. After testing Honeycare’s Strong Clumping formula for two weeks, I was genuinely impressed by how clean and low-maintenance it made our daily scooping routine.

⭐ What Stands Out

• The clumps are incredibly firm — they don’t crumble when lifted

• Odor stays controlled, even in a box shared by two cats

• Cats accepted it immediately

• Unscented version smells clean and natural

🧪 My Test Results

• Clumping Speed: 2–3 seconds
  

• Odor Control: Better than average

• Cats Using It: 3/3

👍 Ideal For

Multi-cat homes, owners who scoop daily, and anyone who wants clay performance without heavy dust.

A genuinely solid upgrade from standard clay litter — especially if you’ve struggled with weak or crumbly clumps before.
