Will your cat love silvervine?
Five quick taps to explore your cat's playtime preferences and find a pack that fits your home.
Results from a 2017 study of 100 cats, published in BMC Veterinary Research (Bol et al.). Silvervine was tested using fruit gall powder, not these chew sticks. Individual responses vary.
A little more fun for your cat
Silvervine may be a fun new enrichment option for your cat. Every cat reacts differently, so start with a short supervised play session.
Choose a pack that fits your home.
Supervise every play session. Replace any stick that becomes damaged or small enough to swallow. Not every cat responds to silvervine.
Why Cats Need to Chew
Chewing is a natural instinct, not bad behaviour.
It's instinct
Cats chew to explore, play and burn off energy. Without a safe outlet, cords and plastic become the target.
Something better to chew
A silvervine stick gives that urge somewhere safer to go during supervised play.
Built to be batted
A fibre tassel and a gall fruit on a twine loop give them something to swat, chase and carry.

What's in every stick
Four natural parts, each with its own job.
Supervise play, and replace the toy if the twine or small parts loosen, or if the stick becomes worn or splintered.
The Science of Silvervine
In a 2017 study of 100 cats using silvervine fruit gall powder, published in BMC Veterinary Research, 79% responded. About 1 in 3 cats don't react to catnip at all, and most of those catnip non-responders (22 of 31) responded to silvervine.
In a 2026 study in the Journal of Chemical Ecology (Uenoyama et al.), free-roaming cats in Japan kept choosing fresh silvervine over living catnip.
