What is Silvervine?

Do you know what silvervine is? Silvervine, a natural alternative to catnip, can make your cat “drunk.” Silvervine is called “MATATABI” in Japanese. Cats LOVE playing with Matatabi (silvervine)!  Our cat toys use handpicked organic Silvervine, naturally grown in mountain in Ehime, Japan.

Catnip is an aromatic perennial herb, often used for cat toys throughout the northeastern US and Canada.

Slivervine is a nontoxic plant in the Actinidiaceae family, native plants in Asia. The official name is “Actinidia polygama”.

We usually have cat toys with silvervine instead of catnip because cats react to silvervine much better.

Usually, all pieces of brunch, leaves and seeds are used for cat toys but we only use carefully selected silvervine seeds, known to be most effective, for our cat toys.
