- Safe and Healthy– Promotes play and helps to relieve anxiety and boredom in house cats
An alternative to catnip that combines play and dental health!
Packed into our Matatabi Sticks are natural essential oils that drive cats wild.
Gently rub off some bark of the stick to release the scents from the natural oils- then give to your cat to enjoy. They will play, roll, rub, and have a blast!
These chew sticks come from the very the same batches from the plants as our regular sticks but these sections of vines just aren’t quite perfect enough to make it into our regular packaging. In an effort to reduce waste we are offering them for sale in the limited quantities. Some are curved, some are missing sections of bark or be a little more flakey, some have little offshoot growths that we can’t quite cut off smoothly. Others may be nearly perfect but may just be a little too large for our regular size and a little too small for our XL size. You likely won’t even notice a difference once your cat has them for a day.
The sticks will come in very simple bulk style paper bag packaging.
What is Matatabi?
The plant is native to the mountains Japan and China and grows like an ivy on trees and rocks. It is officially named Actinidia Polygama, but is commonly called Silver Vine for the distinctive color of its leaves.
Many cats react to Matatabi (the vine of the Silvervine plant) even if they show little interest to catnip. A 2017 scientific study found 70% of cats had a reaction to catnip, however over 80% of cats had a reaction to silvervine, with many cats enjoying both!
While Matatabi/ Silvervine is slowly becoming more well known here in the United States, and is more popular in East Asia than traditional catnip!
What’s in the bag?
- Dried, unprocessed and untreated vine segments
- Each Stick is around 5 inches long, the perfect size and length for play
- Safe for cats to tear apart during play
***NOTE*** Not all cats react to the essential oils of each plant in the same way. Which they prefer is based on genetics, their mood, the day, and how they like to play. If you are unsure what your cat likes, our variety box is an awesome way to try it all and see what your cat prefers!

there was one in my bag that was a little extra weird, but upon further inspection i noticed that there were actually a few more than advertised… and my cat doesn’t notice the difference. I also appreciate the paper packaging.
