A fun and potent alternative to catnip!
Meowy Janes Valerian Root is a perfect alternative for cats who don’t react to catnip.
For cats who love catnip, it can be a fun way to switch up a regular playtime routine!
Meowy Janes Valerian Root is the coarsely chopped root of Valeriana Officinalis, a flowering plant with sweetly scented white or pink flowers that grows around the world. It has been used as a medicinal herb for humans since the time of ancient Greece and Rome.
Cats love the root of this plant! It contains two naturally occurring essential oils- actinidine and valeric acid. Valeric acid acts similarly to a cat pheromone, while actinidine is structurally similar to the nepetalactone in catnip. Cats react to actinidine similarly to how most react to catnip… with great enthusiasm!
Cats will find the stinky cheese, hint of mint, wet earth-esque scent of Valerian root irresistible. The smell can be a little pungent at first, but up close it smells nice! Your cat will especially think so.
What Makes it Different?
- All natural and highly potent cat stimulant that affects cats in a unique way
- Promotes play to relieve anxiety and boredom in house cats.
- Popularly used by humans as a relaxing herbal supplement- yet acts as a cat stimulant!
Add on our handmade refillable fabric toy to make playtime fun and easy!
What’s in the bottle?
- Each bottle is packed with 7.5 fl oz of Valerian Root.
- Effects usually last anywhere from 5-30 minutes.
- Cats usually begin to respond when they are past 6 months of age though some may sooner.
***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!
Refillable Mouse Toy
Our handmade cotton refillable mouse toys make it easy for your cat to enjoy playtime!
To Fill:
- Flip the mouse ‘head’ open, put in as much or as little catnip, alternative or blend as you like
- Fold the ‘head’ back over. The refillable mouse toys do not have to be fully stuffed. A little goes a long way!
- When the herbs begin to lose potency, simply empty the toy out then refill!
The unique design will keep the herbs inside without a need for any snaps, zips, or closures.
The refillable toys are great fun for individual play. They make a perfect bonding playtime toy too- we love to slowly drag it along by the braided jute tail and watch as they stalk and pounce!

Interesting stuff. I’m not a fan of the smell so much (think natural health food store meets teenage boys room) but my cat sure is. He immediately gravitates towards his tree that he never uses otherwise when I add a pinch of this.

Has a strong smell. My cats like it, but they also like catnip, so I’ll use this sparingly to give them some variety.
