$7.95
- Great Value– Each bag contains 20 Matatabi sticks that can be played with and reused many times
- 100% All Natural Matatabi– Unprocessed segments of the vine of the Silvervine Plant
- Combines play and dental health– Encourages healthy chewing behaviors and acts like a gentle toothbrush
- Safe and Healthy– Promotes play and helps to relieve anxiety and boredom in house cats
An alternative to catnip that combines play and dental health!
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!
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 20 mini/thin 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

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
