Michu's premium cassava, and a litter engineered for absorbency and the automatic age. The Wonder Litter is built from tapioca starch, a little corn starch and guar gum, and it arrives at No. 29 with seventy eight, a card of two strong fronts and two softer ones.

Dust and clumping each score four and a half, the heart of the litter's appeal. The cassava pours with almost no haze, and it sets a firm, fast clump that lifts in one piece, claiming up to four times its weight in absorbed liquid, the quality that makes it a natural fit for a self cleaning box where a weak clump fails the cycle. Sustainability sits at four, a renewable, biodegradable starch base that breaks down cleanly.

The card softens on the other two axes. Odour is marked at three, controlled adequately but climbing sooner than the leaders, and tracking at three and a half, the light cassava grain wandering from the box more than a denser pellet. These are the honest limits of a fine, light plant litter, and the price of its prodigious absorbency.

What you are buying is a high absorption cassava litter with a clump strong enough for an automatic box, from a trusted Australian brand. It is the choice for the owner of a robot tray who wants a plant option that will not defeat the rake, and who will manage the odour and tracking with a diligent routine. Not the most complete cassava on this list, but a capable, renewable, machine friendly one, and further proof that the antipodes have embraced the plant litter shift wholeheartedly.
