For the cat who shrugs at catnip. Each MidFox chew stick layers four natural materials around a silver vine (matatabi) core: the wood stick, a matatabi gall fruit knot, hemp rope, and raffia grass tassels. One chew handles what used to take four toys dental cleaning, calming, enrichment, and teeth-mark exercise.

Features

Silver vine (matatabi) wooden core triggers the same euphoric response as catnip in many cats that don't respond to catnip
Matatabi gall fruit knot significantly more concentrated than the plain stick; the "double-potency" compound
Hemp rope wrap coarse fibers floss teeth and stand up to hard chewers
Raffia grass tassels soft, batting-friendly texture that keeps solo play going
Supports dental health: scrubs plaque, freshens breath
Calming, stress relief, and appetite stimulation
100% natural materials, no additives or synthetic scents
Pack of 6 sticks rotate to keep novelty high

Silver vine covers the ~30% that catnip leaves out.

For the Cat Who Ignores Catnip

Roughly a third of cats don't respond to catnip. Silver vine (matatabi) — harvested from wild Actinidia polygama in Japan and northern China — activates a different compound, and studies put its response rate closer to 80% of all cats. We bound the wood core with hemp rope for dental scrubbing, wrapped raffia tassels at both ends for solo batting, and knotted on the matatabi gall fruit for the stronger scent hit. One stick replaces a catnip toy, a dental chew, and a teaser wand — and costs less than any of them.

Frequently asked questions

Very likely, yes. Silver vine contains different active compounds (actinidine, nepetalactol) from catnip, and published research shows about 75-80% of cats respond to silver vine versus ~65-70% for catnip. Many cats who ignore catnip react strongly to silver vine — that's a major reason to try it.

10-15 minute play sessions, 3-4 times a week, keep the scent novel. Store the pack sealed between sessions — exposure to open air will slowly reduce potency over a few weeks. Replace the stick when the wood core is fully frayed.

The chew is designed for gnawing. Hemp rope and raffia shed in thin, digestible fibers the way grass does — fine in small amounts. Supervise the first few sessions as you would any new toy, especially with aggressive chewers. Not recommended for cats under 3 months.
