Catit Go Natural vs Noisy Lion: an honest plant-based litter comparison
I started Noisy Lion after my own cat, Lion, was diagnosed with feline asthma in 2022. His vet's first instruction was blunt: get him off dusty clay. I couldn't find a clean, plant-based litter with a real test report behind it — so I built my own on my kitchen counter in Mississauga.
One brand people ask me about is Catit — a big, familiar name, and its Go Natural pea husk litter sits on shelves across Canada. Both are plant-based. So this isn't a fight over the recipe. It's a simpler question: which litter is actually researched and built for your home, here in North America — and priced like litter should be.

The bottom line
Catit Go Natural is a single pea husk pellet from a global pet conglomerate. Noisy Lion is developed in North America for homes here — a range of formulas researched and lab-validated for local conditions, 99.9% dust-free and undyed, odour control tuned to what people here want, priced like an essential, and we donate litter to shelters. If you want a litter built for your home and your budget, that's the difference.
Researched in North America, for North American cats
We don't adapt a global product to Canada — we research it here, for here. Cats in North America are fed differently and live in different spaces (smaller condos and apartments, drier winters, different plumbing) than the markets a global brand like Catit designs for. So every Noisy Lion formula — whether it's straight tofu, cassava, or a purpose-built blend — is tuned to what matters in homes here: lower dust and stronger odour control, then validated in an independent CTI lab. It's an engineered system, not an off-the-shelf pellet.

Built for North American homes
We develop here, for here. Dry Canadian winters that make cheap litter dustier, condos and apartments where the box is two metres from the couch, building plumbing that decides what you can flush, and the kind of odour control people here actually want. A global brand like Catit makes one product for the world — well made, but adapted to your home, not built around it. Ours start with your home as the brief, and our scents and pack sizes follow from that.
A lab report you can actually read — behind a researched formula
Anyone can print “99.9% dust-free” on a bag, and Catit does — on its own site. So do we. The difference is what stands behind it. Every Noisy Lion formula is engineered for local conditions and sent to an independent lab, CTI, and we publish the full report: 99.9% dust-free (0.1% powder), 99.1% deodorisation, 99.1% antibacterial on Fig — method and report number included. Our litter is also natural and undyed. When the reason you switched is your cat's lungs, you want the lab number in writing, from someone other than the brand selling it — not a slogan on a box.

Priced like litter — and it gives back
Catit's box can ring up a little cheaper up front, and on a deep promo it dips lower still — I won't pretend otherwise. But litter is an everyday essential you rebuy every month, so we keep it honest value rather than premium: our 12 kg bag lands around $4.58/kg, and your first 2-pack is 100% money-back. And because we keep it economical, we give back — Noisy Lion regularly donates litter to shelters and charities. You're paying for the litter and the community, not the box.
Straight talk on price
Yes — Catit's box can be cheaper at the till, especially on promotion. Here's why it still doesn't win the buy: per kilo our 12 kg bag is honest value, every formula is researched for your home and backed by a published lab report, your first bag is money-back, and we donate litter to shelters along the way. You're not paying for a global logo — you're paying for a litter built for here.
Choose the litter that's researched for your home — and gives back
Catit has the shelf space and the familiar name, and it's a decent, well-made pea husk litter. Noisy Lion is for the buyer who wants a litter developed in North America for homes here, lab-verified for low dust and odour, natural and undyed, priced like an essential, and backed by a brand that donates to shelters — bought once or on subscription, on our site or on Amazon. If you're choosing on fit, proof and value, we're the better buy.
100% money-back on your first 2-pack.Is pea husk litter the same as tofu litter?
They're the same family — both are plant fibres pressed with a little starch and guar gum into a clumping litter. Catit uses pea fibre; we use tofu, cassava and our own blends. The real differences come down to who the litter is researched for, clumping strength, and whether the maker publishes an independent lab report.
Is Noisy Lion made for the Canadian / North American market?
Yes — Noisy Lion is developed and run from Mississauga, Ontario, and every formula is researched and lab-tested around North American homes: the dry winters, the condos and apartments, the plumbing, and local odour expectations. It's built for your home, not adapted to it.
Is Catit Go Natural a good cat litter?
It's a decent, low-dust pea husk pellet from a well-known global brand. Our case isn't that it's bad — it's that Noisy Lion is researched for North American homes, comes with a published independent CTI lab report, offers a 12 kg value bag, and gives back to shelters.
Is Noisy Lion really dust-free?
Independently, yes — 99.9% dust-free (0.1% powder content) under CTI report A2260218535101001E, published in full on our site. It's the whole reason the company exists: my cat's asthma.
Does Noisy Lion give back?
Yes — we regularly donate litter to shelters and charities. Keeping the price honest is part of how we can. See our Community Impact page.
Are both flushable?
In small amounts. Catit lists its pea husk litter as flushable; our White Tea and Green Tea tofu are flushable in small amounts, while Cassava is meant to be scooped and binned. Always check your municipality's rules first.
