Catnip is a green herb that can often be found in its dried form inside plush cat toys. When the stems, leaves, or flowers of this plant are crushed, they release a scent that can cause cats to become euphoric. Unfortunately, about 1 in 3 cats doesn’t respond to catnip, though high-quality catnip like the Canadian one used in our Catit catnip products is more likely to trigger a response.
The silver vine is a plant of the kiwifruit family that brings happiness to cats coming near it. The Japanese refer to the euphoric behavior that cats display after sniffing the plant as “the matatabi dance”, which is why silver vine products for cats are sometimes referred to as matatabi. Almost 80% of cats respond positively to silver vine, so if you’re looking for a way to make your cat happy and playful, this just might be it!
