Silvervine (Matatabi)
БезопасноЗаключение
Yes — safe. A natural cat attractant similar to catnip, generally used in treats and toys.
Заключение
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.
Симптомы
- • none — the temporary excited response (rolling, drooling, hyperactivity) is normal and not a sign of illness
Что делать
No treatment needed. Offer in moderation, same as catnip — most cats self-regulate and lose interest once the response wears off.
