Marukan Natural Fragrance Stick Ball for cats has catnip, and the Silvervine ball is blended encased within a Silver Vine stickball. While trying to get to the ball blend, the cat has to chew and chase the Stick Ball, which is fun and helps maintain their dental hygiene. Silver vine (also known as Matatabi) has been known to elicit a euphoric response in cats much more intense than catnip. One in three cats (about 33%)does not react to catnips, while 80% of the cats positively react to Silver Vine. Thus making Silver Vine a great alternative to catnip. A study by the University of Illinois has shown that cats played two and a half times longer with the toys associated with Matatabi/Silvervine than those sprinkled with regular catnip. Many fun behaviours have been witnessed with Silver Vine, such as rolling, licking, drooling, increased playfulness, and a general increase in cat activity have been noted. Cats tend to chew Silvervine to strengthen the effects, and it has been widely reported that this can help to clean cats’ teeth and reduce the amount of plaque. Like catnip, you can use it to entice your kitty to use her scratching post on the expensive bed. It wants nothing to do with it.
