Cats that are restless respond very well to PUUR Matatabi, a chew stick from Japan and made from the Silvervine. The leaves of this climbing plant, Actinidia plygama, which is mainly found in Japan and China, contain substances that are considered very attractive to cats. Actinicin and Matatabi lactone are alkaloids with a mild chloroform or alcohol-like effect that influence the nerve stimulation in the brain of felines (these substances are in increased concentrations in Moktenryo).
PUUR Matatabi provides the cat with distraction and rest, which can be beneficial for cats kept indoors or cats that experience many stressful circumstances (exhibition, shelter, travel, vet, etc.).
Cats that suffer from irritation, frustration and lethargy can benefit from PUUR Matatabi.
Cats play with the stick, they chew it and when a large part of it is “gone” it is bitten to pieces. You can also see that the cat starts rolling and rubbing in places where the stick or remnants of it used to be. After playing, the cat is calmer, the pupil decreases and it often sleeps for about half an hour. If the bark is removed from the stick, the effect is greater.
