Packed into our Matatabi Sticks are natural essential oils that drive cats wild. The addition of silvervine gall fruit powder onto the natural Matatabi sticks makes these even more enticing
All sticks come from the very the same batches of plants as our regular chew sticks but just aren’t quite perfect enough to make it into our regular packaging. You likely won’t even notice a difference once your cat has them for a day.
In a majority of the sticks, the powder just didn’t quite stick well enough so you can see some of of the plant based adhesive in patches on the stick itself. Others may be a bit curved or have imperfect bark. See photos for samples.
The sticks will come in very simple bulk style paper bag packaging.
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 paper bag contains 20 Silvervine Powder Coated Matatabi sticks (depending on individual vine segment thickness).
- The “glue” to hold it all together is a non-toxic plant based adhesive.
- 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!

Kitty rushed to the bag and threw herself onto it before I could even take the sticks out of the bag! Thanks for a great product!

I bought these several months ago and they’re still a hit. We have five cats and they all love these chew sticks. They eventually chewed the outer layer off and they still play with the bare sticks. I will be ordering more soon.
