All-Natural Silvervine Sticks

Matatabi & Gall Fruit Sticks

Natural chews made from the exotic Silvervine plant

Silvervine works on cats catnip can't reach. About 30% of cats don't respond to catnip — but most of those cats DO go wild for silvervine.

Silvervine Sticks

The original natural matatabi chew. All-silvervine, no extras — just plant power your cat won't put down.

Silvervine + Gall Fruit

Maximum potency. Silvervine sticks loaded with dried silvervine fruit for the strongest reaction.

The Chew That Does More

Hand your cat a Zoom Stick and watch what happens. They roll, pounce, frolic, and bat — fully engaged in a way most toys never trigger. The texture invites chewing (which scrapes plaque). The aroma triggers play (which keeps them active). And since silvervine wears off naturally between sessions, the fun stays fresh every time.

What Is Silvervine?

Known as matatabi in Japan, it's the natural plant that triggers euphoric play in up to 80% of cats — including the 30% who don't react to catnip.

Want To Crank It Up?

Add Gall Fruit. Silvervine fruit galls are nature's concentrated cat trigger — small, lumpy fruits packed with the plant's most potent active compounds. Adding them to silvervine sticks creates a dramatically stronger reaction. If your cat already loves silvervine, gall fruit takes them to the next level.

Cats go crazy for these things

Both my cats were obsessed immediately. They don't last as long as the harder chew sticks, but I think that's because they're actually chewing them instead of just batting them around.

Best dental chew we've tried

We've tried so many products and these are the only ones my cat actually chews regularly. Her breath is better and the vet said her teeth look good!

My cat carries these around the house like her babies. She chews them daily and her teeth definitely look better than before. Super happy with this purchase.

My cat actually uses them

I was skeptical but my picky cat loves these. She chews on them for a good 10 minutes at a time. They're softer than regular sticks so they don't last forever, but her breath definitely smells better.

Great for older cats

My 12 year old has sensitive teeth and these are soft enough that he can actually chew them. He rolls around with them and seems really happy.

Finally something that works

My picky cat won't touch catnip but these silvervine sticks are a hit. She chews them for like 20 minutes straight and I've noticed less tartar buildup at her last vet visit.

Silvervine — also called matatabi — is a vine native to East Asia. It's been used for centuries as a natural way to bring out euphoric, playful behavior in cats. Many people call it "nature's catnip alternative," but it actually works on more cats than catnip does — including many who don't react to catnip at all.

Both are made from the silvervine plant, but the gall fruit (silvervine fruit) version is more potent. Plain Silvervine Sticks use the natural plant wood — perfect for daily chew sessions. The Silvervine + Gall Fruit version adds dried gall fruit (the most concentrated part of the plant) for a stronger, more intense reaction. Start with plain sticks if your cat is new to silvervine; upgrade to gall fruit when they're ready for more.

Gall fruit (also called silvervine fruit) is the most potent part of the silvervine plant. These small, lumpy fruits form naturally and concentrate the plant's active compounds — the chemicals that trigger your cat's reaction. Adding gall fruit to silvervine sticks dramatically increases the intensity of the experience.

Probably yes — that's exactly the cat silvervine is for. About 30% of cats don't respond to catnip, but most of those cats do respond to silvervine. Try a Zoom Stick and watch closely for the first few minutes; if your cat sniffs, paws, or starts chewing, you've found their match.

The natural fibrous texture of silvervine wood works like a chew toy. As your cat gnaws, the fibers help scrape plaque from teeth and gums. It's not a replacement for veterinary dental care, but it's a great daily supplement that turns playtime into oral care.

Depends on your cat's enthusiasm. Heavy chewers may go through one in a few sessions; casual users get weeks of intermittent play out of one. Replace when the stick gets too small to be safely chewed.
