ONE (1) LOT containing
10pcs Silvervine Sticks + 10g Dry Silvervine fruit (30pcs around) + 1pc Catnip Ball = 41pcs around
only the best for kitty!!
- To refresh (by putting these fruits and toys together in an airtight container),
And my favourite, one dry whole silvervine fruits in a plastic ball and they finally notice their "ball"!!
What is Japanese Catnip, Matatabi, Silvervine?
Sweet scent, not minty like the usual catnip (Nepeta Cataria)
Japanese Catnip (scientific name, Actinidia Polygama) is of the same family with Kiwi Fruit! It gives a state of euphoria response in cats, like Nepeta Cataria (Catnip). Said to give a more intense reaction. Japanese Catnip / Matatabi / Slivervine is non-toxic, mainly found in Japan and China. It is also used in Traditional Chinese Medicines (for humans, of course)
Their leaves and branches are known to be particularly potent in making cats happy!
There\'s a Japanese saying, (neko ni matatabi, jor o ni koban, "Silver vine to a cat, a coin to a prostitute"), meaning to put someone in a good mood by providing what they most desire.
However, do note that results may vary as cats respond differently.
Some are known not to respond but so far, all my cats responded, except for one very finicky old cat who only desires to sleep on it!
Remember to limit our feline friend access to Silvervine, maximum 2-3 times a WEEK.
If it is harder to get, they will enjoy it better!
