An alternative to catnip that combines play and dental health!

A bag of 15 of our large sized matatabi chew sticks. A great alternative to catnip that also helps maintain healthy teeth! Packed into each stick are natural essential oils that drive cats wild. The sticks will come in very simple bulk style paper bag packaging.

They are TWICE the diameter and FOUR TIMES the size (about as big as your finger). 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!

Perfect for heavy chewers or cats who can still take chunks out of our original sticks.

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!
