Australia's most popular tofu, and a litter that wins on broad, even competence. Michu has become a fixture of the antipodean plant litter shelf, and its natural clumping tofu arrives at No. 27 with seventy eight on a card defined by balance rather than any single peak.
Dust, clumping, odour and tracking each score a solid four. The soybean pellets pour cleanly, set a respectable clump, control smell adequately, and largely stay in the tray, the litter doing every important thing well without doing any one thing brilliantly. It is the kind of even performance that breeds loyalty: nothing here will send an owner back to the shelf in frustration.
Sustainability sits a touch lower at three and a half, which is the curious figure on the card. The tofu base is renewable and biodegradable, so the slight markdown reflects packaging and the wider footprint rather than the material itself, leaving it just short of the faultless conscience scores of the purest plant litters.
What Michu offers is a thoroughly likeable everyday tofu from a brand antipodean owners already trust, low on tracking, gentle on the air, and renewable at heart. It does not chase the enzyme cleverness of its compatriot at the top of this list, nor the stone hard clump of cassava, but it does not stumble anywhere either. For the owner who wants a dependable, widely available plant litter and values consistency over a single headline number, Michu is an easy and sensible recommendation. A model of the balanced everyday plant litter, and a deserved national favourite.
