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!

Caitlin –
Came very quickly in the mail. My cat loves to play with it but he doesn’t chew on it much.
Lauren –
Great product for the kitties to chew on! Packs came with nice size sticks for them to grip with their teeth instead of thin ones that a lot of places sell. My cats love them and it’s good to know they are organic. Seller was quick in response ding to my questions!👍😺

Both of my cats went absolutely crazy when I gave them one. Their reactions were even crazier than when they have catnip. Plus, the natural tooth brush aspect of them is cool. I’ll be buying these again when the other ones are spent!

My cat fucking loves this thing 😂😸

Shipped faster than expected. Both my cats love the sticks it keeps their attention all day and allows them something to chew on besides plastic they find.

I purchased this for my grandkitty, still waiting for him to use them🙄 He’s so picky. All in all I think this is a great alternative.

Our one cat is obsessed, and she doesn’t even like catnip! Definitely a great alternative to her chewing on other things. She even sleeps with it after a good play session. We will order again for sure. Quick shipping and just an awesome store!!!
