Whole Silvervine Fruit For Cats

$12.99

  • An all natural cat toy containing two naturally occurring cat attractive oils!

    Silvervine is a great way to promote play and relieve stress and anxiety in your cat. Give them dried fruit and watch them play! Many cats will play independently, batting the fruit around, however you can also encourage play by tossing and batting around with them!

    What does it do and how does it work?

    Typical behaviors of cats on silvervine include rolling, chin and cheek rubbing, meowing, drooling and licking. Some cats will become kitten-like playing with toys and catching a case of the zoomies. Others will be more relaxed and will chill out in a dreamlike state.

    Many cats react to Matatabi (the vine of the Silvervine plant) even if they show little interest to catnip. A 2017 scientific study found 70% of cats had a reaction to catnip, however over 80% of cats had a reaction to silvervine, with many cats enjoying both!

    Only the gall fruit contains sufficient amounts of the olfactory attractants to trigger the euphoric reaction in cats. The other dried fruits from the plant (a more oblong shape) have shown to have much less of a reaction.

    What’s in the bag?

    Each bag contains approximately 15 whole dried fruits weighing ~1 oz in total. It is safe for cats to consume bits of the fruit but they should be used as a supervised playtime toy only. When not being enjoyed, store in a sealed bag to maintain the freshness. Each fruit can be played with many times until it eventually disappears under the couch, bed, or other furniture!

     

***NOTE*** Not all cats react to the essential oils of each plant in the same way. Which they prefer is based on genetics, their mood, the day, and how they like to play.

If you are unsure what your cat likes, our variety box is an awesome way to try it all and see what your cat prefers!

About Meowy Janes

ALL NATURAL CATNIP, CATNIP ALTERNATIVE, CAT TOYS, AND MORE

After rescuing our current pair of cats (Allister and Cypress), we found that they turned up their nose at all of the catnip and catnip toys that we tried, unlike many of our previous kitties. After much research to satisfy our curiosity, we found out that there are other plants that give similar effects for cats as traditional catnip, but through different essential oils. While not well known here in the USA, many alternatives are popular all over the word and even more popular than catnip in many countries. On our journey we also learned much of what is sold as “catnip” is actually just the catnip stalk and that there was much more to the plant.

In early 2018, we began Meowy Janes from our workshop in New Jersey to help share these many alternatives with the world and educate on how these different plants effect cats. We work with family owned farms and sustainable sources for all of our products. We also hand make a variety of reusable cat toys and carry unique pieces of jewelry for cat lovers.
