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
- The resealable bag is stuffed with 7-9 Matatabi sticks (depending on individual vine segment thickness)
- 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!

Got my cat very playful! Better than catnip! Designed to be tossed, carried and chewed on. Fast shipping!
Kathryn –
Bought these for his adoption day. He loves catnip and he loves these! I gave two to some of the cats I sit for and they love them as well. These seem like they will last a while, which is great!

These things are POWERFUL. When I first got them, I thought, “these seem too small” but then I used them and thought, no, these are perfect for my cats. I have 4, and as soon as I opened it they all came running. 3 are going crazy and 1 is in a corner drooling! She’s never drooled before. This stuff is crazy, your cats will go crazy for it.

My cat isn’t too sure of the matatabi chew sticks. However tho I have left them out for him and will continue to encourage him to chew on them.
