What is silvervine anyways?
Silvervine can be known as two things, a tree and the fruit the tree makes. The silvervine tree, which is known scientifically as Actinidia polygama, grows natively in China, Korea, and Japan. The fruit that comes from the tree is known as gall fruit or simply silvervine fruit. Both the tree and the fruit contain several oils which give cats a similar reaction to catnip.
It's also known as the catnip of Asia or matatabi. Matatabi means "travel again" in Japanese, which is how they describe the funny dances cats do when playing with silvervine.
Silvervine vs catnip
Both catnip and silvervine are great ways to get your cat active and playing. Silvervine is just an alternative to catnip if your cat does not react to it as much.
A 2017 study found that 75% of cats tested reacted to silvervine positively over catnip. Read about it here!
Is silvervine safe for my cat?
