Cat Litter Tracking, Why It Happens and How to Fix It

If you’re a cat owner in Singapore, you’ve probably seen small pieces of cat litter appearing outside your litter box. This is called litter tracking, and while it’s common, it can be frustrating, especially in smaller spaces like HDB flats and apartments.

At Nana & Chi, we know that every type of litter has its pros and cons, so here’s a practical guide to understanding tracking and what really works to reduce it.


What is Litter Tracking?

Litter tracking happens when bits of litter stick to your cat’s paws or fur and get carried outside the litter box.
This can happen with any litter, but the size, weight, and texture of the granules make a big difference in how much tracking you see.

Why Some Litters Track More Than Others

  • Cassava Cat Litter – Made from fine granules that clump extremely fast and hard. It locks in odour and makes it easy to scoop away every single bit of soiled litter, keeping the box fresh.
    Downside? The small, lightweight granules can easily stick to paws, causing more tracking.
  • Tofu Cat Litter – Our tofu comes in larger 3mm pellets, making it heavier and harder to stick to paws. This means less tracking.
    Downside? Clumping isn’t as hard or quick as cassava litter.

Our Perfect Solution: Mix Cassava and Tofu

Instead of compromising between great clumping and low tracking, we recommend mixing cassava and tofu cat litter.

  • Cassava provides fast, rock-hard clumping for easy scooping and odour control.
  • Tofu adds weight and size to the mix, reducing the amount of litter that gets tracked out.

This simple combination gives you the best of both worlds — a cleaner home and a fresher-smelling litter box.

Extra Tips to Reduce Tracking

  1. Use a litter mat – Place one outside the litter box to trap loose granules.
  2. Choose the right box design – High-sided or covered boxes help keep litter inside.
  3. Scoop daily – A clean litter box means less litter sticking to paws.
  4. Trim fur around paws – Especially for long-haired cats.

Litter tracking is normal, but with the right litter mix and setup, it can be reduced dramatically.
