OPET corn and cassava cat litter makes switching from clay litter a breeze. It has small, round granules, forms perfect clumps, and sifts quickly. It’s even made to mix with and improve your current litter, whether you’re looking to use the last of it up or can’t yet fully commit to a natural cat litter.
However, also like clay litter, it’s not without its flaws. In this review, I’ll tell you everything you need to know to determine whether this OPET litter is right for you.

Why Trust Cats.com
I’m a lifelong cat owner with seven senior cats of my own. That means a lot of scooping! I have more than the recommended amount of litter boxes, and I clean them every day.
While it’s definitely a chore, it’s also helped me to learn what’s most important in a cat litter. We’re all looking for something healthy for us, our cats, and the planet. We also want a litter that’s low-tracking, easy to scoop, and doesn’t make our lives more complicated than they have to be!
I’ve reviewed several cat litters here on Cats.com and tried multiple on my own time as well. In addition to other corn-based litters, I’ve tried clay, wooden pellets, almond cat litter, and more. While reviewing, I think about how easy the litter is to clean, test the company’s claims, and observe how my cats feel about the litter.

OPET Corn and Cassava Cat Litter Features
Katelynn Sobus / Cats.com
Often, natural cat litter comes in pelleted form, which is a turn-off for most cats, especially those who are used to using traditional clay litter. OPET’s corn and cassava cat litter has small, round granules that are comfier on your cat’s feet than pellets and make the transition from clay litter easier.
It’s also made to be mixed with your old litter and extend its life cycle by forming better clumps and keeping the litter box cleaner for longer. That said, you can also use OPET litter on its own.
The litter is meant to be fragrance-free, but it smells like perfume to me. I didn’t enjoy the scent, especially upon first pouring it. However, it doesn’t smell as strong while scooping, and it does contain odors well.
The dustiness seems hit or miss, as one bag had very little while the other had a bunch of dust collected at the bottom. The litter is not low tracking and is also very visible on floors and furniture due to its color.
While OPET says that this litter is flushable, it’s not generally recommended to flush cat feces due to the risk of contaminating your area’s water with Toxoplasma, a parasite that can exist even in cats with no symptoms.
Lastly, OPET corn and cassava litter is on the expensive end of natural cat litter, so you may be able to find one that you like more at a lower price.
What We Like:
- Small, round granules similar to clay litter
- More comfortable on cats’ feet than pelleted litter
- Forms solid clumps that are hard to break
- Made with natural ingredients
- Most reviewers seem to enjoy the sweet scent of the product
What We Didn’t Like:
- Mostly dissolves in water but leaves some mushy clumps behind that may clog a toilet
- Tracks heavily and is very visible due to light color
- One bag was quite dusty
- Expensive, even compared to other corn litter
What Did Our Test Cats Think?
The first feature of the litter that I tested was its flushability. While I didn’t want to put it in my toilet, I did put a small handful of litter into a jar of water to see how well it dissolved. At first it fell to the bottom and clumped, but once stirred it dissolved almost fully. There were still some mushy chunks remaining in the mixture, which may have finished dissolving if more water was added.

After pouring it into my cats’ litter box, they used it as regularly as they do their clay litter. Sometimes they avoid pooping in new litters, but that wasn’t a problem with OPET. They seemed to prefer it to the pelleted litter that I was testing in the same room.

The litter clumped very well and was easy to scoop. The clumps sometimes stuck to the bottom of the box, even when the litter was several inches deep. They came loose in one piece, but not without jostling the litter box and sometimes causing a spill. I’d recommend a high-sided box to stop this from happening.

My biggest gripe with the litter is that it tracks everywhere! It’s not worse than your average clay litter, but it feels like it because the pieces are white and very visible. I was constantly vacuuming around the box and regularly found litter on the furniture or in the next room.
If you can deal with the tracking and don’t mind the fragrance, I do think this is a decent cat litter that’s worth a try. Sadly, the tracking was too much for me to consider repurchasing.
What Do Customers Think of the OPET Corn and Cassava Cat Litter?
While we try to share both positive and negative reviews, OPET cat litter released this past April and has very few reviews on Amazon. That said, here’s what some customers had to say:
Positive Reviews
“I have been using this corn and cassava cat litter for a few weeks now and I think it’s one of the better natural options I’ve tried. It clumps quickly and holds together well which makes cleaning the litter box way easier.” – Rosa Reyes on Amazon
“I’ve tried so many types of cat litter over the years, but this corn & cassava blend is easily one of the best. First off, I love that it’s made from natural, sustainable ingredients — no chemical smells, and it’s safe for both my cat and the environment.” – Alexia L on Amazon
Customers praised OPET for having a mild fragrance, natural ingredients, and a low amount of dust. Several reviewers liked that the litter is flushable as well.
Negative Reviews
Currently, there are two short negative reviews on Amazon. Both complain of litter tracking, which is something I was frustrated with as well. I also found one out of the two bags I purchased to be quite dusty, and the scent to be unpleasant–though other reviewers seemed to enjoy it!
