Packed into our Matatabi Sticks are natural essential oils that drive cats wild. Sourced from the same plant as our traditional Matatabi Sticks but perfect for smaller cats or those that prefer to bat them around the house rather than chew heavily!
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!
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!
I have 1 cat who doesn’t care about the sticks but 1 cat that chews and batts and plays with them all the time. Worth getting to try with your cat. If your cat doesn’t love them, you can gift some to a cat that might! Super fun and desirable to 1 of my cats!
Cats love these sticks. Unfortunately for me, they don’t understand they can chew on them without assistance and want me to hold them for them while they chew. Still- good fun!
Very awesome I love to watch them chase these around so fun and funny
My cat chews on the sticks a bit and seems to get a stronger reaction than he does from catnip. He doesn’t always go out of his way to find them though
Only one of my cats like this, but I’m glad I tried them! She will have her own stash I suppose!
I like the bigger ones better, these r fresh thou
These silvervine sticks are a hit with my cat! They help clean her teeth and provide mental stimulation!
These natural silvervine sticks are purrfect for my indoor cat.
My cats aren’t heavy chewers so these are great they last such a long time
My three seniors love these, good fun and good qualityq
Good value
My sister’s cat really likes them! You never know if a cat will be into something, but he was all about these! He was rubbing his face all over the stick, which isn’t something we’ve really seen him do much of with catnip, and he likes catnip!
