判定
Silvervine (Actinidia polygama, also known by its Japanese name matatabi) is not toxic to cats. Like catnip, it contains compounds that trigger a euphoric response in many cats — rolling, rubbing, drooling, and vocalizing — usually lasting 10-15 minutes. Some cats respond to silvervine even when they don't respond to catnip, since the response depends on genetics. It's widely sold as a cat toy or treat additive and is considered safe for occasional recreational use.
注意すべき症状
- • none — the temporary excited response (rolling, drooling, hyperactivity) is normal and not a sign of illness
対処法
No treatment needed. Offer in moderation, same as catnip — most cats self-regulate and lose interest once the response wears off.
