Many cats that ignore catnip react to silvervine instead.
Sticks of silvervine, a plant that cats chew, lick and rub their faces on. Each is about 16 by 5 by 2 cm and weighs 11 g. Some versions come with a small plush attachment.
Give it as a short, calm activity. Not every cat responds to it.
How it works
- 1Put one on the floor
Some cats chew straight away. Others sniff it for a while first.
- 2Keep sessions short
A few minutes, then take it away so it stays interesting.
- 3Throw it away when it splinters
Do not leave pieces small enough to swallow.
Works best if
- Your cat ignores catnip
- Your cat likes to chew
- You want something calm for the evening
Skip it if
- Your cat has dental problems
- Your cat bites off and swallows pieces of wood
