88 out of 100 Very good
The most evenly balanced litter on the list, and the quiet triumph of the curated marketplace. NetEase Yanxuan, the house brand of one of China's largest internet companies, makes a tofu litter as clean and considered as its catalogue, and it arrives at No. 13 with eighty eight built on a remarkable run of four and a half marks across the board.
There is no single perfect five here, and no weakness either. Dust, clumping, odour and tracking all score four and a half, the rare litter that is excellent at everything and poor at nothing. It pours clean, sets a firm and scoopable clump, controls smell cleanly without perfume, and largely holds its slim pellets to the tray. The experience of living with it is one of pleasant, frictionless competence, the absence of any single annoyance that sends owners back to the shelf.
Sustainability sits at four, the soybean base renewable, biodegradable and flushable in small amounts, faultless in substance with only the broader footprint of distribution keeping it a notch below the very top.
What makes it notable is its provenance: this is not a litter brand at all, but a retailer's own label, sold direct at a price the marketplace specialists struggle to match, and trusted by a vast domestic audience precisely because it carries no marketing noise. It is the litter the data points to rather than the blogs, bought in volume by people who simply want a good box at a fair price. For balance, value and a complete absence of compromise on any single axis, it is one of the most quietly recommendable litters here. Excellence without a flourish, which is its own kind of achievement.
