Let's Talk Tracking*
Share
If you're a cat parent, you’ve probably dealt with litter tracking—those tiny grains mysteriously appearing far from the litter box, making their way across your floors, rugs, and even your bed. But why does this happen, and is there a way to minimize it?
*For the purpose of this post, "Tracking" is in reference to the pieces of litter that are accidentally pulled out when the cat leaves their litter box. We are not talking about litter that is kicked out, or pushed over the edge of the box when cats attempt to dig and cover their waste.
Why Does Litter Tracking Happen?
Tracking occurs for two main reasons:
- Static Cling on Fur & Paws Some litter types, especially ultra-fine grains, react easily to static electricity. This causes small particles to cling to your cat’s fur and paws, leading to litter being carried out of the box, then fall onto the floor when they are knocked off, or the static dissipates.
- Larger Grains Getting Stuck Between Toes On the other end of the spectrum, some litter has larger granules that can get wedged between your cat’s paw pads. These pieces eventually shake loose as your cat walks, spreading litter beyond the box area.
Where Does SOYSAND Fit In?
At SOYSAND, we understand that completely eliminating tracking is impossible—no litter is 100% track-proof. However, we’ve designed our tofu cat litter to minimize tracking and keep messes contained near the litter box.

- Optimal Grain Size: SOYSAND sits between ultra-fine and large granules, reducing static cling while being too small to get stuck between toes.
- Heavier Composition: Unlike lightweight clay or silica, SOYSAND’s natural composition keeps it from easily sticking to paws and fur.
- Localized Tracking: While a few grains may escape the box, they tend to stay nearby instead of traveling throughout your home.
A Cleaner Home Without Sacrificing Performance
While no litter can promise zero tracking, SOYSAND offers the best of both worlds: low tracking with excellent clumping, odor control, and eco-friendliness. So, while you might see a little litter around the box, you won’t find it in your bed or between your couch cushions!
