Natural Silvervine Chews for Play and Dental Care
Product Description
Meowijuana Silvervine Cat Chew Sticks are all-natural matatabi sticks made to spark happy play and calm relaxation. The potent silvervine plant offers a stronger alternative to catnip, encouraging cats to roll, rub, and chew. As cats gnaw, the fibrous texture helps scrape away plaque and tartar, a simple, additive-free chew for everyday enrichment.

- Dental Support: Chewing on a textured surface helps reduce plaque and tartar naturally.
- Stress Relief: Encourages calm, relaxed behavior and eases boredom.
- Play Stimulation: Promotes rolling, chewing, and batting for active indoor fun.
-
All-Natural Sticks: 100% silvervine with no additives or artificial ingredients.
Ingredients
Silvervine (Matatabi/Actinidia polygama) fruit stems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are Meowijuana Silvervine Cat Chew Sticks?
Ans: Meowijuana Silvervine Cat Chew Sticks are natural matatabi sticks that cats chew, rub, and play with. Silvervine releases aromatic compounds that trigger playful or relaxed behavior, while the woody texture supports dental cleaning through chewing.
Q2: How is silvervine different from catnip?
Ans: Silvervine tends to affect more cats than catnip and often produces a stronger response. Cats may roll, lick, chew, or purr more intensely, making silvervine an excellent option for cats that are unresponsive to catnip.
Q3: Do these chew sticks help clean teeth?
Ans: Yes, the fibrous, slightly rough surface provides gentle abrasion when chewed. Regular gnawing can help scrape away soft plaque and reduce tartar buildup, supporting fresher breath and healthier gums over time.
Q4: Are silvervine sticks safe for kittens?
Ans: Most kittens can use silvervine sticks once they’re actively chewing and playing, but supervision matters. Offer short sessions and remove the stick if it splinters or becomes small enough to swallow.
Q5: How often should I give a silvervine stick?
Ans: For most cats, a few sessions per week keep the effect exciting. Leaving sticks out all day can dull interest, so rotating them and offering in short play bursts usually works best.
Q6: What behaviors should I expect after giving one?
Ans: Cats may lick, chew, rub their face, roll, or zoom around happily. Some become calm and dreamy instead. Reactions vary by cat, but a playful or relaxed response is normal.
Q7: Can cats get “too much” silvervine?
Ans: Silvervine isn’t addictive, but constant access may reduce its novelty. If your cat seems overstimulated or drools heavily, take a break and reintroduce later in smaller, supervised sessions.
Q8: How do I activate the stick’s scent?
Ans: Lightly scrape the outer layer or snap a tiny bit of bark to expose fresh silvervine inside. This releases more aroma and usually boosts your cat’s interest right away.
Q9: How long does one stick last?
Ans: It depends on your cat’s chewing style. Some sticks last several sessions, others get shredded quickly. Replace any stick once it becomes splintered, sharp, or small enough to be a choking risk.
Q10: Can these replace catnip toys?
Ans: They can complement or replace catnip toys depending on your cat’s preference. Silvervine sticks offer both scent stimulation and a chewable texture, providing cats with a unique form of enrichment that differs from plush toys.
