Product Description
A great alternative to catnip that also helps maintain healthy teeth!
A resealable bag of 20 thin or mini Matatabi Sticks.!
Our mini Matatabi chew sticks are the same length as our regular chew sticks but more like the thickness of a twig. These are the perfect choice for smaller cats or those that prefer to bat them around the house rather than chew heavily.
Each Matatabi Chew Stick has tons of the naturally occurring essential oils that drive cats wild.
Why try a mini matatabi chew stick?
Variety in Play: These sticks offer a different texture and size, adding variety to your cat's playtime.
Dental Health: Chewing on matatabi sticks can help promote dental health by reducing plaque and tartar buildup.
Natural Enrichment: Matatabi sticks are a natural and non-toxic way to provide enrichment
Physical Activity: Chewing and playing with these sticks can encourage physical activity.
Stress Reduction: Matatabi can have a calming effect on some cats, potentially reducing stress.
Safe and Non-addictive: Matatabi is generally considered safe for cats and is non-addictive, making it a safe option for enrichment.
Before giving your cat, you can gently Rub off some bark of the stick to release the scents from the natural oils. They will play, rub, roll, chew and have a blast!
- Made in the USA by a small family owned business
- Many cats react to Matatabi even if they show little interest to catnip
- Lesser known in the United States - but more popularly used than catnip in Japan and China!
- Promote healthy chewing behaviors
- The fibrous vine acts as a natural toothbrush, gently exfoliating teeth and gums when gnawed on
- Each stick can be re-used many times... or until they all disappear under the couch!
Some cats may not be attracted to matatabi or various reasons, including:
Genetics: Just like with catnip, sensitivity to matatabi can be hereditary. Not all cats have the genetic predisposition to react to it.
Individual Variation: Cats have diverse preferences, and not all of them will be interested in matatabi. What appeals to one cat may not necessarily attract another.
Age: Kittens and young cats may not react to matatabi until they are older. Sensitivity can develop as they mature.
Overexposure: Cats can become desensitized to matatabi if exposed to it too frequently. Moderation in its use can help maintain its appeal.
Health and Stress: Underlying health conditions or stress can affect a cat's response to matatabi. Addressing any health issues or stressors may help increase their interest.
If your cat doesn't show interest in matatabi, that's okay! Cats have diverse tastes, and there are plenty of other toys and stimuli to keep them entertained and engaged.
