Cat litter

Choosing and using MICHU litter.

Which MICHU cat litter should I choose?

Choose Tofu Cat Litter Gen3 for a plant-based everyday option; Mixed Tofu Pro or Lite when transitioning from finer clay-style litter; Wonder Litter for many automatic litter boxes; NatureMix for a tofu-and-cassava blend; Kitten Tofu for young cats; and pH Monitoring Tofu when you want an at-home observation aid. Always check the individual product page and your automatic box manufacturer's guidance.

How do I transition my cat to a new litter?

Change gradually over roughly 7-14 days. Begin with mostly familiar litter, then increase the proportion of the new litter every few days. Keep the tray in its usual location and avoid changing the box, litter and location at the same time.

How deep should the litter be?

A depth of about 5 cm is a useful starting point for many trays. Adjust for your cat's digging habits, tray design and the instructions on the product pack.

Can MICHU litter be used in an automatic litter box?

Wonder Litter and NatureMix are specifically positioned for many automatic litter boxes. Compatibility varies by machine, so check the minimum granule size and litter requirements supplied by the box manufacturer.

Can plant-based litter be flushed?

Some MICHU plant-based formulas are designed to disperse in water. Local plumbing, sewer and council rules differ, so check the pack and local requirements first. Never flush a large amount or an entire tray; dispose of waste in household rubbish if uncertain.

Does pH monitoring litter diagnose illness?

No. Colour-changing litter and monitoring pellets are observation aids, not diagnostic devices. A single colour change does not confirm disease. If a change persists, or your cat strains, urinates frequently, shows discomfort or behaves unusually, contact a veterinarian promptly.

Product care

Made for everyday cat life.

How do I choose a litter box size?

Your cat should be able to enter, turn and dig comfortably. Large cats and multi-cat homes often benefit from a more spacious, high-sided box. Product dimensions are listed on each product page.

How should I clean a litter box?

Scoop regularly and follow the care instructions for the specific box. Use pet-appropriate cleaning products, rinse thoroughly and dry before refilling. Avoid harsh fragrances that may discourage use.

Which cat tree suits my home?

Consider available floor space, ceiling clearance, your cat's size, preferred sleeping style and whether replacement parts are available. Taller trees suit climbers; desk-mounted or medium designs can work well in compact homes.

How do I introduce a new cat tree?

Place it near an existing resting area or window, allow your cat to explore at their own pace and use familiar bedding, toys or treats to create a positive association. Check and tighten fittings regularly.

How do I grow the soil-free cat grass?

Follow the included seed, mulch and watering instructions, position the kit in suitable light and keep it away from excessive heat. Growth time varies with temperature, light and watering conditions.

Is the Bagel Ceramic Cat Bowl suitable for wet and dry food?

Yes. Its wide, shallow shape is designed for dry food, wet food or water while reducing contact between the sides of the bowl and a cat's whiskers. Follow the product care instructions for cleaning and handling ceramic.

Are freeze-dried treats a complete meal?

No. MICHU Freeze-Dried Pet Treats are complementary treats or toppers. Feed them alongside an appropriate complete and balanced diet, introduce gradually and keep fresh water available.

Where can I find specifications and assembly instructions?

Dimensions, materials, pack contents and relevant instructions are listed on each product page or supplied with the product. If anything is missing, contact our customer service team with your order number and product name.

Orders & delivery

From checkout to your door.

Will I receive an order confirmation?

Yes. After placing an order, you should receive an email confirmation with your order number. Check your junk or promotions folder if it does not appear.

How long does delivery take?

Many Australian orders arrive within an estimated 3-7 business days after dispatch. High-demand products, remote locations, public holidays and carrier disruptions can take longer; some orders may require up to two weeks. The estimate shown at checkout and your tracking updates are the best guide for your order.

How do I track my parcel?

Tracking is emailed when your order ships. Carrier information may take 1-3 business days to update after the label is created.

What if I have not received tracking?

If no tracking has arrived within seven business days of ordering, email customerservice.au@michupet.com with your name and order number.

Can I authorise the courier to leave my parcel?

You can request authority to leave by emailing customer service with your name and order number. Safe-drop availability and final delivery decisions remain subject to the courier, location and order.

Can I collect an order?

Warehouse visits and collection require a confirmed appointment. Email customerservice.au@michupet.com before travelling so the team can confirm availability and a collection time.

Returns & support

What is the return window?

Which products cannot be returned for change of mind?
