Matatabi works even better than catnip! It has an even more dynamic effect on cats, especially those resistant to certain baiting preparations. It stimulates their natural lust for fun and gives them a lot of fun. This non-toxic plant, also known as Silvervine (Actinidia polygama), is grown in the mountainous regions of Japan. It is known to make cats euphoric, similar to catnip, but much more intense, lasting for 5-30 minutes, and re-active after another 20-30 minutes. Common behavior in cats caused by Matatabi is rolling, chin and mustache rubbing, drooling and licking, as well as scratching, biting and kicking a toy.
