Why We Love Natural Cat Toy
Natural Cat toys are all made with biodegradable material. The mix of natural silvervine, catnip and corn husk makes these toys unique and appealing to cats with different tastes.
What You Need to Know
- Silvervine / Mattatabi / Actinidia Polygama are all the same plant. Silvervine goes by many different names but they are all different names for the same species of kiwifruit in the Actinidiaceae family. It grows exclusively in mountainous regions of Asia and some cats love it. We have found that our cats that do not react to catnip really love and react to silvervine.
- The silvervine stick attached to the end of the toy is a great addition to a cat’s toy selection. It allows cats to bite down on the stick and can help clean the teeth.
